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 6 August 2026 the High Court at Makueni dismissed the appeal of police officer Justine Nyangaresi Arati against three bribery convictions over requests for KSh3,000 to release an impounded motorcycle at Kalamba in June 2020. The fines of KSh20,000 per count are a sentence, not a measure of the bribe.
