Kenya's president withdraws controversial bill which sparked deadly protests
Wednesday, 26 June 2024 Kenyan president William Ruto has withdrawn a bill which sparked deadly protests in Nairobi, saying he was "respecting the loud message coming from the people".
A light aircraft tragically crash-landed in Kenya’s Malindi County, killing three people on the ground. The crash, which occurred along the Malindi-Mombasa highway, resulted in the death of a motorcycle taxi driver and two others who were struck by debris. The pilot and two students managed to survive by jumping out before the crash but sustained injuries. This incident raises serious concerns about the safety measures around Malindi airport, especially with ongoing disputes over land compensation for airport expansion. Authorities are now investigating the cause of this devastating accident.
