Each entry states its checking date and limits. Earlier research dates of 20–24 October are retained; the Gemini additions received targeted source checks on 26 October. These are not complete certified docket searches. An allegation is not a finding of guilt, and a historical sentence does not prove present custody.

Summary

On 3 October 2025 the Court of Appeal dismissed the second appeal of Paul Kuria Ngugi, a former chief in Eastleigh North, Nairobi. It affirmed his convictions for soliciting and receiving a bribe in October 2014 in connection with introduction letters needed for identity documentation. KSh25,000 was solicited and KSh20,000 received; these are not separate losses. He was acquitted at trial on a third count. The historical sentence is not evidence of present imprisonment or payment.
