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 20 July 2023 the High Court dismissed the appeal of John Njoroge, former Member of Parliament for Kasarani, against convictions for soliciting and receiving KSh100,000 in July 2013 to facilitate the final Constituency Development Fund payment to a contractor building a school. The outstanding contract payment of about KSh3.34 million is not the bribe and not a loss. The historical sentence is not evidence of payment or imprisonment.
