Kenyan authorities expelled Zimbabwean constitutional lawyer and civic activist Brian Bright Kagoro late Sunday after detaining and questioning him, accusing him of involvement in a foreign-backed scheme to mobilize protests. Officials said the action followed a months-long investigation alleging he helped raise about US$1.2 million to support activist networks and reignite 2024 youth-led demonstrations. Kagoro denied the allegations, saying his visits were for personal and professional engagements.
