Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu to Be Charged in Corruption Cases
(Reuters) Israel’s attorney-general intends to indict Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in three corruption cases, Israeli TV said on Thursday, citing the Justice Ministry.
The reported decision, ahead of Israel’s April 9 election, deepens uncertainty over Netanyahu’s prospects in a tight race.
The actual filing of the reported charges, which include bribery, fraud and breach of trust, will depend on the outcome of a required hearing. At that hearing - likely after the election - Netanyahu can try to persuade the attorney-general not to indict him.
Netanyahu, who is seeking a fourth consecutive term, denies any wrongdoing. In the long-running investigations, he is suspected of wrongfully accepting gifts from wealthy businessmen and dispensing favors in alleged bids for favorable coverage by a newspaper and a website.
Netanyahu’s right-wing Likud party described the reported charges as “political persecution”. It said the prime minister, who has vowed not to resign over the allegations, was due to deliver a statement at 8 p.m. (1800 GMT).

Uhuru & Ruto to follow suit. Since we now can figure out they must be involved in the mega scandals.
A good indicate is like the recent Merrali agreed to give our millions to secure a land in westland, while believing he's talking to real and familiar Uhuru. Even though it was a conman impersonating the President it still indicates that the 2 knew each others in the sort of give and take game.
Although it's impossible in the Kenya judiciary but with wananchi to take action can be done within a month.
This starts with long term streets demonstration in all major towns

Kusema kweli wakati wa huyu ndugu yetu kuondoka kwenye utawala umefika. Ameyafanya maisha ya Wapalestina kuwa ahera (hell) duniani. Isitoshe amewaweka viongozi wa nchi muhimu duniani kama kiongozi wa nchi ya Marekani na Uingereza kwapani (arm pit). Kwa hiyo anaweza kuwatendea Wapalestina maovu yote apendaye bila uoga au wasiwasi wowote.
