Kenyan Newspapers, March 5: Tension in Sifuna's Linda Mwananchi as They Oppose Its Registration
The newspapers on Thursday, March 5, reported on the political status quo in the country, with a focus on the Linda Mwananchi group, which is pushing back against its conversion into a political party. Daily NationThe newspaper reported on the tension within the Linda Mwananchi brigade, which is currently fighting off attempts to register their identity as a political party. Lawyers representing the group wrote to the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP), urging it to decline the application to reserve and register "Linda Mwananchi" as a standalone political entity. The objection follows reports that Charles Wanyonyi submitted an application to the ORPP to reserve and register "Linda Mwananchi" as a political party. Meanwhile, the National Assembly’s Committee on Defence, Intelligence and Foreign Relations joined the debate, raising concerns about the connotations of the name "Linda Mwananchi."

US-Israel-Iran war or…: Real reason why Yash and Kiara Advani’s Toxic avoided clash with Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2 revealed
The announcement of Yash's much-anticipated film Toxic: The Fairy Tale being delayed jolted fans to the core. While the makers have cited the United States, Israel–Iran conflict and the increasing tension in the Middle East as a reason, fans think otherwise and believe that the clash with Dhurandhar 2 could be the actual reason. In the United Arab Emirates alone, Indian movies have more dominance compared to Hollywood films. It is needless to say that money earned by a movie in a Gulf country comes in strong currencies linked to the United States Dollar, such as the UAE dirham. The logistics for the whole “Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region” are handled by major distributors of Yash's films, who are frequently situated in Dubai.

NTV Kenya: Court orders State to pay Natembeya Sh2.5m
Court orders State to pay Natembeya Sh2.5mThe High Court has quashed corruption charges against Trans-Nzoia Governor George Natembeya, stemming from a Sh1.4 billion graft investigation, and awarded him Sh2.5 million in damages for violating his constitutional rights. In its ruling, the court criticised State investigators, saying M-Pesa statements used as evidence were obtained unlawfully thus infringing on the governor’s right to privacy. The court further held that the decision to charge Natembeya lacked legal basis and amounted to an abuse of the criminal justice system. In his petition to the High Court, Natembeya argued that investigators violated his rights during the arrest and searches, including denying him immediate access to legal representation. The court said that the decision by investigators and prosecutors also amounted to an abuse of the criminal justice system.
