High Court Quashes Aisha Jumwa's Appointment as Kenya Roads Board Chairperson — Declared Unconstitutional and Unlawful

  photo: Former KRB Boss, Aisha Jumwa./courtesy In what legal commentators are already describing as one of the most consequential rulings on public appointments in recent Kenyan judicial history, the High Court has struck down the appointment of former Gender Cabinet Secretary Aisha Jumwa Katana as non-executive Chairperson of the Kenya Roads Board (KRB) — declaring it unconstitutional, unlawful, and void ab initio , meaning illegal from the very beginning. Delivering the ruling, Justice Bahati Mwamuye was unambiguous in his findings: the appointment process failed to comply with the mandatory statutory framework set out in law, and no amount of presidential goodwill, political loyalty, or gazette publication could retroactively cure that fundamental illegality. "The appointment of Hon. Aisha Jumwa Katana as a member of the Kenya Roads Board is unconstitutional and unlawful ab initio as it did not comply with Section 7 of the Kenya Roads Boards Act and Articles 10, 47 and 2...

DCI Nabs Alleged Gold Scam Ringleader Mildred Kache alias Sabreena Ayesha in Kilimani Raid

 

Nairobi DCI detectives have arrested a woman believed to be the mastermind behind a sophisticated gold fraud scheme that conned an American national out of USDT 431,380 — equivalent to hundreds of thousands of US dollars.

The suspect, Mildred Kache, also known by her alias Sabreena Ayesha, was apprehended by detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Nairobi Headquarters following a targeted operation in the upmarket Kilimani area of Nairobi.

How the Gold Scam Worked

According to the DCI, the suspects lured the American businessman with a seemingly lucrative offer — the promise of selling him 400 kilograms of genuine gold. Convinced the deal was legitimate, the unsuspecting victim travelled all the way to Nairobi to finalise the transaction, unaware that he was walking into a carefully orchestrated trap.

Once the agreement was signed and funds transferred into the suspects' accounts, the alleged gold dealers vanished without a trace — their phones went unanswered and no gold was ever delivered.

DCI Investigation Leads to Kilimani Arrest

After the defrauded American reported the matter to the DCI, a formal investigation was launched. Detectives tracked down and arrested the prime suspect Mildred Kache alias Sabreena Ayesha at Crystal Villas, Kilimani.

A second suspect, Ibrahim Yusuf Mohamed, managed to flee before officers could apprehend him. However, in his hasty escape, he abandoned a Mercedes-Benz E500 registration number KCV 910C, which has since been impounded as key evidence in the ongoing investigation.

Suspect in Custody; Manhunt Continues

Mildred Kache is currently in police custody awaiting arraignment in court, as detectives intensify their manhunt for the remaining suspect Ibrahim Yusuf Mohamed, who is still on the run.

The DCI has urged members of the public with any information regarding the whereabouts of Ibrahim Yusuf Mohamed to come forward and assist with the investigation.
