15.07.2026 ⇢ The Day the Rastafarians' Bhang Bid Was Rejected
⌨
The High Court's rejection of Rastafarians' bid to legalize bhang for religious use dominated the morning, with multiple outlets covering the ruling and its implications. The story evolved alongside political realignments as ODM and UDA lost strongholds ahead of 2027, and Nairobi Governor Sakaja introduced new tariffs. By early afternoon, attention shifted to the recovery of Justice Muchelule's missing gun from a robbery suspect, linking a judicial security breach to broader crime. The Ol Kalou by-election remained a backdrop, with Gachagua alleging police deployment to disrupt voting and UDA rejecting his rigging claims. Later, a Singapore court fined Bloomberg for defaming Kenyan ministers, while public universities faced a Sh28.9 billion funding gap and civil servants were promised salary increases.
