The suspects were arraigned in a Nairobi court on Tuesday, with the
prosecutor granted an additional 30 days to investigate their actions.
In the wake of the Garissa University attack which claimed the lives of 148 students, 5 suspects accused of supplying weapons to the al-Shabab gunmen have appeared in court.
According to Al Jazeera, the suspects were arraigned in a Nairobi court on Tuesday, with the prosecutor granted an additional 30 days to investigate their actions.
Meanwhile,
the Kenyan government published a list of groups it considered
"terrorist" organisations and a list of entities it suspects of being
associated with al-Shabab on Tuesday night.
The
Kenyan government also listed 86 entities including businessmen,
money-transfer companies, bus companies that operate between Nairobi and
the country's northeast, Muslim clerics and a Muslim human rights
organisation.
Following this, the government froze the accounts of the suspected individuals in addition to suspending the licences of 13 Somali money-transfer firms.
Meanwhile,
3 days of mourning officially came to an end on Tuesday night, when
hundreds of people attended a vigil in Nairobi's Freedom Park, where an
interim shrine of crosses and candles had been set up.
Attendees of the event also included survivors from last Thursday's attack.
