Even Out of Office, Donald Trump Continue Being Hounded

Former US President Donald Trump continues to be hounded, even after leaving White House. The alleged ghoul of incitement to insurrection still haunts him. Trump stares at the second impeachment trial which would probably bar him from ever vying as a president again.
Unlike the first impeachment where Trump was acquitted, in the second charge the prosecutors managing the process are keen to conclude it as fast as possible and will heavily rely on fast-paced video presentations.
Trump’s second impeachment trial comes days after president Joe Biden stated that he would not share with him classified information, a privilege that his predecessors enjoyed after leaving office. Biden described Trump’s behavior as “erratic.”
When he entered office, Biden was too swift to reverse most of Trump’s policies. As soon as he set foot in the Oval Office, Biden reversed Trump’s policies on immigration and climate change. The US President led America back to the Paris Accord. He had pledged that battling climate change would be a priority in his government. 
Immediately after his inauguration Biden said: “There’s no time to waste when it comes to tackling the crisis we face.” Biden made it mandatory for people to wear masks in all federal government property to curb spread of Covid-19. America is the most affected country in the world with the highest record of coronavirus patients and fatalities.

Facebook and Twitter Ban

During the sunset days of his reign, the former US President was banned from Twitter and Facebook after persistently alleging that there was widespread electoral fraud. The two giant Social Media firms declined to restore his accounts after he ceased being a president.

The Power of the Phone in Political Revolutions - a Case Study of Kenyan Genzs

Kenya's June 2024 #RejectFinanceBill2024 protests are Africa's clearest example of how the smartphone replaced the party, the podium and the press release as the engine of revolution. Unlike previous opposition-led protests, this was leaderless and tribeless, it would not have happened. 1. The Phone as Parliament a) Translation and Civic Education The Finance Bill 2024 was 100+ pages of tax jargon. On TikTok, Gen Zs broke it down in 60-second videos in English, Swahili, Sheng, and vernacular. They used ChatGPT to explain clauses like "16% VAT on bread" and "2.5% motor vehicle tax" to a boda rider in Kisumu and a student in Mombasa simultaneously. b) The Phonebook as a Weapon Activists leaked MPs' phone numbers on X. Influencer Amerix and others encouraged Kenyans to spam calls, SMS and WhatsApp with "Reject the Bill". Parliament's switchboard collapsed. It was direct digital lobbying - no need to march to Parliament when Parliament is in yo...

Kenyans surprised over UDA's 'Voters Repair' remarks for President Ruto 2027 reelection

 Kenyans are reacting strongly to remarks by some UDA leaders that many interpret as hints at election manipulation ("ukarabati ya kura" / "voters repair") ahead of the 2027 presidential election. What Happened On or around May 23, 2026, NTV Kenya and other outlets aired footage from a UDA meeting at Kakamega Deputy Governor Ayub Savula's home.  Leaders including Savula and MP Charles Gimose reportedly used phrases like "tutafanya ukarabati ya kura" (we will repair/do maintenance on the votes).  Some comments referenced high victory margins in places like Tanzania under Samia Suluhu or Museveni-style wins. This has been widely seen as implying plans to "fix" or pad results in favor of President William Ruto's reelection, rather than a literal call for better voter registration or system maintenance. Public Reaction 1. Surprise and outrage: Many Kenyans on X and social media expressed shock, viewing it as arrogant or desperate signaling am...

How to commercialize your prototype innovation in Kenya

Commercializing a prototype in Kenya involves transforming your innovation from a proof-of-concept stage into a marketable product or service that generates revenue. This process requires protecting your intellectual property (IP), validating market demand, securing funding, and selecting the right business model.  Kenya has a supportive ecosystem with government agencies, grants, and innovation hubs to help.  Below is a step-by-step guide based on established practices and resources. 1. Protect Your Intellectual Property (IP) Before commercialization, safeguard your innovation to prevent copying. In Kenya, IP protection is handled by the Kenya Industrial Property Institute (KIPI). Register your IP : File for patents, trademarks, copyrights, or industrial designs. Patents are crucial for inventions and provide a 20-year monopoly.  Start with a patent search to ensure novelty, then apply via KIPI's online portal. Costs range from KSh 3,000–50,000 depending on the type. Why...
