SHIF or SHA heist: Enterprise Resource Planner Ruto sourced from Adani for $800 million costs less than $8 million in Kenya
The shares in this consortium are as follows when rounded off, the company associated with Adani controls 60 per cent, Safaricom and David Ndii-associated company 20 per cent each.

From these figures, David Ndii and his wife will be making a cool Ksh2 billion annually from your SHIF contribution.
Fixing Man City and Arsenal: Reality of injuries and excuses, missed chances and devastating counter-attacking blows
More often than not, it’s the straightforward explanation that makes the most sense. Arsenal haven’t been their usual selves in recent weeks – carving out lower-quality chances, stringing together fewer passes, and struggling to pen their opponents and sustain pressure – and that has largely coincided with an injury to their most influential creative player.
Raped and impregnated by IS fighters, thousands of Yazidi women abandon children when rescued
Yazidi captives are often too afraid to seek help, four survivors said. Rafida Naif, a 26-year-old Yazidi woman, spent 20 months at al-Hol. She said she feared she would be killed if she identified herself to guards and wasn’t immediately removed from the IS family she was with. When the family would hear a vehicle approaching their tent, she said, they would hide her in a hole and cover it with cardboard or bedding.
How Iraq’s displaced Yazidis suffocate in Islam, Christianity and Zoroastrianism faith hotchpotch
Iraqi officials say more than 5,000 Yazidis, most of them men and older women, were killed in the initial assault in August 2014, their bodies dumped in mass graves. Some 6,400 others, mainly women and children, were captured. Sold into domestic and sexual slavery or trained as fighters and suicide bombers, they were passed from owner to owner across the group’s “caliphate,” which at its peak spanned roughly a third of Iraq and Syria.
America’s choice: In every state it was on the ballot, reproductive health was more popular than Kamala Harris
Even in New York, which Harris won with 55 per cent of the vote, she underperformed in comparison to the abortion-related amendment, which got 62 per cent support. (Harris also significantly underperformed recent Democratic presidential candidates in the state.)
Manchester City’s poor run has raised concerns about club manager Pep Guardiola’s future: Is he leaving or staying?
Sources also believe that Pep Guardiola would be more likely to stay if Manchester City were found guilty and did receive a harsh punishment; as he has said, he wants the best for the club in every aspect, whether that comes to how much they spend on players or whether he considers himself to ever become a burden. By the same token, he would not want to leave them in a vulnerable position if they were, for argument’s sake, relegated or docked points.
Reporter’s diary: Tossed between wars, South Sudanese are soothed by hope amidst misery
Over the past 18 months, I have interviewed dozens of returnees like Gatdet who have fled the bruising battle between Sudan’s army and the South Sudanese returnee from Sudan speaks with a medical worker at a transit centre in the town of Malakal. More than 600,000 South Sudanese have returned home since Sudan’s conflict erupted last year.
Democratic staffers: Harris campaign had hoped economic recovery would be a winning issue, instead it became her achilles heel
Kamala Harris sought to reassure voters about the cost of living. Trump’s proposals to raise tariffs would amount to “a 20 per cent national sales tax” on imported goods, she said. She vowed to “protect hard-working Americans who aren’t always seen or heard.” In the end, not enough of those Americans believed her.
Harris’ failure to halt Trump’s return to White House bears testimony to democracy and politics as strange bedfellows
Following Biden’s dramatic withdrawal just months before Election Day, Harris threw her campaign together as if it were an airplane being built while in flight, her advisers told reporters. The 60-year-old former prosecutor and US senator pressed a case that Trump was a threat to democracy and women’s rights, while promoting a populist economic platform and reproductive freedoms.
Rot in Man United goes beyond manager, INEOS’ underwhelming track record in football demands critical look
There is so much work to be done. United will hope that a new coach can unlock something in those players the same way Klopp, Arteta and Emery – all of them mid-season appointments – got so much more out of the squads they inherited at Liverpool, Arsenal and Villa.
