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 8 July 2024 the High Court dismissed the appeal of Alexander Matiiri Kinoti, an assistant chief in Muthurwa, Nairobi, against a bribery conviction. The conviction concerned a request for KSh2,000, reduced to KSh1,800, to let a wines-and-spirits business operate without a licence in January 2021. The court maintained the conviction and the trial sentence, which included a fine with a default prison term and a two-year public-office bar. He had been acquitted on two other counts.
