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 15 January 2026 the High Court allowed three consolidated appeals in the Kisumu Kenya Pipeline fuel-loading prosecution, holding that the prosecution had not proved the offences beyond reasonable doubt. It quashed the 2025 convictions, set aside the sentences, ordered release unless otherwise lawfully held and refunds of any fines paid, and ordered retained fuel released to the second appellant. Earlier announcements of conviction are superseded.
