KUALA TERENGGANU: The wife of former army chief Tan Sri Muhammad Hafizuddeain Jantan, was charged at the Sessions Court here with receiving proceeds from unlawful activities amounting to RM5,000 last year.

[Boniface Okendo, Standard]The Technical Working Group (TWG) on Gender-Based Violence has recommended amendments to the Sexual Offences Act, 2006, to introduce mandatory chemical castration for child sex offenders. “If you have a relative or individual repeatedly defiling a child, chemical castration reduces libido and helps protect the child,” she said, adding that the intervention would be accompanied by psychosocial support where necessary. What is chemical castration? Chemical castration is a medical intervention that suppresses the production of sex hormones and is administered through injections, implants, or oral medication. If adopted, Kenya would join countries including Poland, South Korea and Indonesia that have implemented chemical castration as a preventive measure for sexual offences.

Givens and I spoke at length about the ritualism surrounding Diet Coke consumption and the concept of marination, a newly appointed term that, in this instance, refers to a can of Diet Coke sitting in the fridge for a set amount of time. "For me, it has to be a can that's been marinating in the fridge for at least 24 hours, so it looks nice and frosty on the can and poured over ice, with one True Lime packet sprinkled in," she said. Givens' typical drinking vessel of choice is her Yeti because it keeps contents cold, and her Diet Coke won't get watered down. However, she said she's not immune to the trending TikTok videos where Diet Coke lovers pour their perfectly "marinated" beverages into one of these glass tumblers with "nugget ice" and sip them out of a glass straw. "I like that it's glass rather than plastic and the lid keeps any dust out," Givens said when I presented this aesthetic alternative to her normal stainless steel tumbler.

Nairobi County clinical officers holding peaceful demonstration in CBD on April 30, 2025./DOUGLAS OKIDDYClinical officers say Kenya’s recurring health sector strikes are the result of unresolved disputes dating back several years, with past agreements remaining largely unimplemented. Wachira says whenever clinical officers down tools, negotiations often lead to written commitments and timelines, but implementation rarely follows once workers resume duty. In 2021, clinical officers were ordered back to work by the courts, with directions that employers also resolve the outstanding issues. He says Ministry of Health data indicates Kenya requires about 24,000 clinical officers to effectively deliver universal health coverage, yet only about 6,000 are currently serving in public facilities. However, clinical officers insist they will not sign another Return to Work Formula without full implementation of court directives and the CBA.

“Inflammatory rhetoric calling for violence against civilians, including the most vulnerable, is utterly abhorrent and must stop now,” said the head of the UN Mission in South Sudan (Unmiss). South Sudan’s deputy army chief Gen Johnson Oluny made the call as he addressed his Agwelek militia as they prepared to be sent to parts of Jonglei state. Forces aligned to South Sudan’s suspended Vice-President Riek Machar have captured several areas in recent weeks. The UN Commission on Human Rights in South Sudan (UNCHRSS) expressed “grave alarm” at the latest fighting in Jonglei state, north of the capital Juba, where witnesses have described civilians fleeing into swamps. Conflict in South Sudan, the world’s youngest nation, broke out in 2013, two years after independence, when President Salva Kiir accused Machar of plotting to overthrow him.
