The 'gangsta grannies' running criminal empires
The 'gangsta grannies' running criminal empires - from cat-loving coke queen to feared mob bossFrom community champions to grey-haired cat lovers on benefits, grannies are increasingly becoming bigger players in the underworld, leading crime clans through control rather than intimidationView 7 Images Deborah Mason was dubbed "Queen Bee" (Image: PA)With their blue rinse and glasses, grannies are not the archetypal crime lord associated with running a huge drug empire.

Merge photo of EALA MP Winnie Odinga (L) and businessman Oketch SalahConflicting accounts have emerged between EALA MP Winnie Odinga and businessman Oketch Salah regarding the late Raila Odinga’s final moments. Winnie strongly refuted the claims, insisting that Salah was neither a confidant nor part of Raila’s inner circle. Winnie added that anyone issuing unverified claims about Raila’s final moments should be subjected to evaluation by relevant authorities. He said he had intentionally avoided commenting earlier out of respect for Raila’s widow, Mama Ida Odinga. Some critics argued that both sides should exercise restraint out of respect for the family, while others insisted that truthful accounts of Raila’s final moments are important for the historical record.

In many places, they do not believe in female leadership; Even women offering solutions is not a thing they would take up. The call to othersTo other women and girls who want to innovate in agriculture or climate action, I would just say go for it.
