The Kenya Wildlife Service(KWS) was ordered to pay the family of Josphat Karii Njeru over Ksh 4 million compensation fee after he was killed by a stray Elephant on May 1, 2017.
“This court entered judgement for the appellant at Ksh 5 million, less 20 per cent liability that reduced the figure by one million. The appellant is therefore awarded Ksh 4 million-plus special damages of Ksh 45,000,” read the judgement.
The decision was made by Justice Robert Kipkoech Limo sitting at the High Court in Chuka. The judge set aside a decision made earlier by the Senior Principal Magistrate’s Court in Marimati dismissing a suit by Jediel Muriithi Njeru, who is the legal representative of Karii’s family.

Dr Mugai recalls how she was depressed in 2008 when her husband died, and traumatized after her in-laws not only abandoned her but also asked her to leave without her children.
The Importance of Rainwater Harvesting Tanks in Kenya
FORT THOMAS, Kentucky The average cost of coping with a distant or unreliable water supply in rural Kenya is approximately $38 per month. In comparison, the average water bill of a typical Nairobian household connected to a piped water system is a mere $4.46 per month. Why the discrepancy? Approximately 32% of Kenyans suffer from poor access to clean and reliable water sources. However, the burden tends to fall heavier on unconnected rural communities than on piped households. Over the past decade, one of the most promising technologies employed to bring water to rural communities is rainwater harvesting tanks in Kenya.
