Owner-authorized historical notes, prepared with AI assistance. They were NOT personally reviewed by an activated REKODI publisher and are not publisher-approved court records or signed editorial releases. The project owner authorized this finite batch on 26 October 2026.

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.

Case text: English source summary.

Summary

Rex Kanyike Masai was fatally shot in Nairobi on 20 June 2024 during protests against the Finance Bill. The Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) investigated alleged police involvement, and a public inquest (Milimani INQ E015/2024) heard evidence. Court reporting in September 2026 recorded that the inquest heard 30 prosecution witnesses and 48 exhibits, including authenticated CCTV footage, and that submissions were to follow. No inquest finding on responsibility had been reported when this record was checked.
