A Kibera court yesterday granted detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) 30 more days to complete investigations into three activists accused of inciting violence and mobilising looters during the June 25, 2025, Gen-Z demonstrations.

Principal Magistrate Mercy Khahuya allowed the application by the DCI and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP), noting the advanced state of investigations and the need for final forensic reports.
