DP Ruto Recounts how he was humiliated by President Uhuru Kenyatta

Deputy President William Ruto has expressed his disappointment with Jubilee Party, over what he terms as change of style after new players were brought on board. He narrated how he had been humiliated by President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Ruto was speaking during an exclusive interview with Citizen TV on Thursday where he stated that it was unfortunate that very many deputy presidents, including him, are fought. However he said that he had no regrets whatsoever.

“I have no regrets whatsoever, but I have done the best I could. I think we have done well. Maybe there would have been room for improvement but I am satisfied with my performance as Deputy President,” he stated.

The DP alleged a plot to kick him out of government. Ruto admitted his association with UDA, and disclosed that president Uhuru Kenyatta had isolated him, prompting his allies to come up with a new political outfit. He revealed that his space was taken away by other people.

“After 2017 elections, some group came up with ‘Stop Ruto Movement.’ Then they demonized me as corrupt individual and said that they would do a lifestyle audit. They removed everybody with semblance of being my friend from government,” Ruto said.

Lack of Opposition in Kenya

He revealed that he had never complained since the president started to elevate ODM leader Raila Odinga. According to Ruto’s school of thought there is no opposition in Kenya and went ahead referring Raila as a former opposition leader.

Ruto further stated: “If the President decides to elevate other people, consult more with the former leader of opposition, I have taken it with grace. You have not heard me complain.”

The DP further defended himself over the inspection of government projects. He claimed that when he was inspecting projects in 2013 and 2017, nobody complained.

How Human Noise Kills Marine Species, as revealed by Scientists

Scientists have warned that the discord of noise made by humans is harming marine species . A comprehensive assessment revealed that large noise from human activities was as harmful as pollution, overfishing and climate change . The study that was conducted by the Journal Science exposed how marine animals can hear from far distances than they can see or smell. According to a report published in the Guardian, most of the marine life uses sound to catch prey as well as attracting a mating partner. Prof Carlos Duarte of King Abdullah University in Saudi Arabia argued that: “Marine animal can only sea up to around 10 meters, smell up to around a hundred meters, but they can hear across the entire ocean basins.” The research concluded that sound “is very important in the marine ecosystems, and noise is pervasive, affecting animals at all levels .” The increasing cacophony in the marine habitat is interfering with how marine animals respond to various survival...

Carbon dioxide to Make Jet Fuel, Study Reveals

Photo Source: twitter.com Aircrafts release a lot of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which contributes to climate change. A research that was conducted by Science News and reported on December, 22 2020 stated that there was a new iron-based catalyst that has been invented to convert carbon dioxide into jet fuel. It is only a matter of time that carbon dioxide pumped to the atmosphere by planes could be sucked and used to power the same. The air travel’s footprint in carbon emissions could be tremendously curtailed, if the carbon dioxide that is released is recycled to generate fuel. As per Science News reports, Air transport contributes to about 12 percent of the entire transportation carbon-related emissions. Unlike cars, aircrafts cannot carry bigger batteries which can be run on electricity generated from wind or solar panels. The current breakthrough in the conversion of carbon dioxide to fuel involves cheap ingredients such as iron and transformed through a single s...
