Dettol’s China Ad Campaign Backfires, Prompting Apology and Controversy

Kenyan former justice minister Martha Karua was detained at Entebbe airport, with no reason given for her being barred from Uganda. She joined a team in the defense of Ugandan lawyer Erias Lukwago, who is fighting treason charges linked to opposition leader Kizza Besigye. While Karua was blocked, Kenyan law society senior Charles Kanjama was allowed entry, raising questions about consistency and cross‑border legal cooperation. Karua’s office reports she remains incommunicado and expects to return to Nairobi. The incident highlights ongoing tensions over opposition figures and the jurisdiction of regional courts.

WhatsApp CEO Will Cathcart announced his resignation after nearly seven years at the helm, during which the app grew to three billion users. Meta’s new plan names Kunal Shah, the behind‑the‑scenes founder of fintech start‑up Cred, as interim head, following a $900m investment that gives Meta a 20% stake in Cred while shielding user data. Zuckerberg praised Shah’s “builder mentality” and expressed confidence in his stewardship of the world’s most widely used messaging platform. The change comes as Meta pushes to expand WhatsApp’s reach in India, where it commands 853 million users, while addressing ongoing privacy scrutiny over data sharing with its parent company.
