Kenya: Maina Njenga, 2 Others Charged With Possession of Offensive Weapons

Nairobi — Former Mungiki leader Maina Njenga and two other suspects have been charged with the illegal possession of offensive weapons.

According to a charge sheet, Maina is alleged to be in possession of 14 machetes, 24 Maasai swords, 46 rungus, and three plows.
