This is the Star News Brief, I'm Mark Gitau.
00:09
President William Ruto and allies of opposition chief Renlo Ding on Wednesday hinted a political
00:14
marriage ahead of the 2027 polls.
00:17
Ruto is on a four-day tour of the Nyanza region, speaking in Miguri on Wednesday, where he
00:21
launched several projects.
00:23
The president gave the clearest indication yet he will unite with his former political
00:27
rival in the next election.

00:41
Civil society groups have continued to pile pressure on President William Ruto to stop
00:45
extrajudicial killings by security forces.
00:48
The police reform working group, a coalition of human rights lobbyists, yesterday said
00:52
it was concerned by the enforced disappearances and obituary arrests, despite Ruto's promise
00:57
to end it.
00:58
The government was not upholding commitment to stop the vice, the lobby said, but was
01:02
going further in offending the rights of those arrested.
01:06
The late Mombasa's cement-limited CEO Hasmukh Patel will be cremated on Sunday in Mombasa
01:12
with President William Ruto expected to be in attendance, the Star has learned.
01:16
This explains why the body of Patel was preserved at the Pandya Memorial Hospital morgue, unlike
01:20
the Hindu traditions.
01:22
According to Hindu death rituals, the body should remain at home until cremation, which
01:26
is usually within 24 hours of the death.
01:29
Sources close to the family hinted at the Star that there was a special request for
01:33
the delay of the cremation, but they will not state why.
01:37
One more body of a middle-aged man was on Thursday night found in El Nika in Bangla
01:41
area, Tanah River County, a day after four people were killed.
01:45
The decomposing body was found with arrow wounds, a clear indication that he died through
01:49
the poisoned arrows.
01:50
This brings the number of those killed to five in the last three days.
01:55
The Shakahola massacre, which led to the deaths of over 400 people in Cliffie County,
02:00
was as a result of police failure, a report on the probe into the tragedy says.
02:04
The Commission on Administrative Justice, which probed the Shakahola tragedy, has blamed
02:08
the police and state administrators for the deaths.
02:11
A report by the commission said there was a dereliction of duty by the two agencies,
02:15
which allowed the occurrence of the tragedy.
