Peter Kariuki, 22, is said to have been assaulted by a fellow youth after they had an altercation at the home of an initiate in Mathangauta Village on April 4.

NAIROBI, Feb. 21 (Xinhua) February is normally one of the driest months in Kenya and Uganda, with most farmers in the East Africa region using the time to prepare their farms.
The dry period usually paves way for the long rains that over the years have begun from March to May.
But this year, the norm has been flipped as heavy rains unexpectedly hit the region catching millions of farmers unaware. With the heavy rains pounding most parts of the country, a good number of farmers have rushed to plant while others have adopted a wait-and-see attitude.
