Kwale Plumber Sentenced to 25 Years for Murder


A plumber, aged 25, from Kwale County has received a 25-year prison sentence after the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) successfully established his involvement in the heinous murder of a businessman six years prior.

  High Court Judge Francis Andayi found Fikirini Juma Hassan, also referred to as County Mbili, guilty of the murder of Ali Noor on the night of July 28, 2019, in Denyenye village, located in Ngombeni, Matuga Sub-County. He was convicted of murder in violation of Section 203 as read in conjunction with Section 204 of the Penal Code. The case, led by Principal Prosecution Counsel Vallerie Ongeti, was determined to have been proven beyond a reasonable doubt, highlighting the DPP’s dedication to seeking justice for victims of violent crimes. Two additional suspects linked to the murder remain at large. Court records indicate that the deceased and a friend attended a music event at the Bidi Badu Club in Diani on the evening of July 27, 2019. Around 3 a.m., they departed for home on Noor’s motorcycle. En route, they dropped off another friend before continuing towards Ngombeni. Upon reaching the Denyenye area, they were ambushed by a group of men who began throwing stones at them. The motorcycle crashed, and while Noor’s companion managed to escape into nearby bushes for safety, Noor was trapped and assaulted with stones and pangas. In his testimony, the survivor identified four of the attackers: Raul Abdul Noor, Fikirini Juma Hassan, Salmin, and Fadhili, before the assailants fled the scene. The victim was quickly transported to Manyatta Hospital in Likoni and subsequently moved to Coast General Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries on July 31, 2019. Police investigations resulted in the apprehension of Fikirini and Raul, both of whom were positively identified by the eyewitness. The court observed that the attackers did not steal anything from the victims, dismissing robbery as a motive and concluding that their intent was solely to kill.

  The most recent report from the Auditor General for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, has uncovered mismanagement at Enoomatasiani High School under the administration of Principal Tabitha Mbabu (TSC No. 224359). There are calls for her transfer over mismanagement and not very impressive academic excellence under her leadership. As per the report, the statement of receipts and payments indicates that the school's fund income from parents' contributions amounts to Kshs. 89,627,445, as detailed in Note 4 of the financial statements. An examination of the school's fee structure during the review period revealed that the school fees were raised beyond the limits set by the Ministry of Education (MOE), resulting in an unauthorized increase in annual fees of Kshs. 15,000 for form one students and Kshs. 18,000 for students in other classes. This action contravenes Regulation 44 of the Basic Education Regulations, 2015, which stipulates that no public school or instit...

A report from the Auditor General for the period ending June 30, 2024, has issued serious recommendations regarding the management led by Principal Jane Mureithi, who took charge on May 23, 2022. The report indicates that the school is technically insolvent and is operating at a deficit, leading to significant pending bills.
