HMP Bullingdon A PRISONER who attacked two guards and had a shiv has been given a hospital order. Peter Kariuki, 27, assaulted the two officers at HMP Bullingdon in June last year. Two months earlier, in April, he’d been found in possession of a makeshift knife at the Bicester jail. Judge Nigel Daly imposed a hospital order under section 37 of the Mental Health Act, placing him under the care of mental health doctors. Kariuki was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia. The judge said: “I am satisfied on the written evidence of these two doctors that you are suffering from a mental health disorder of a nature or degree which makes it appropriate for you to be detained in a hospital for medical treatment.”

The 1,557 families the government allocated land at Wiyumiririe in Laikipia East fear losing the properties as they cannot prove ownership.
The properties lack green cards because the titling process is yet to be completed years down the line.
A green card is a document that holds the original records of all transactions relating to a piece of land. A green card serves as a reference document for a given piece of land. Without a green card, one cannot claim to be the legal owner of a property, even if they have a title deed.

Peter Kariuki, 75, is a troubled man. He is a Kenya Railways retiree, but he stopped getting pension five months ago.
Nonetheless, he knew his trouble with money would end soon after the National Land Commission (NLC) acquired a parcel owned by the Kenya Railways Staff Retirement Benefits Scheme, of which he is a member, for the Nairobi Expressway project.
The government is supposed to pay them Sh7.9 billion as compensation for the 18 acres, and the National Treasury released the first batch of Sh1.2 billion to the NLC on February 23.
