Why Former UNCTAD Secretary General, Dr. Mukhisa Kituyi, is Well-Placed to Succeed President Uhuru

Kenya’s politics is gradually becoming toxic as 2022 draws nigh. The assumption of a two-race affair exacerbates the situation as deputy president William Ruto takes the challenge to countenance the influence of his possible rival Raila Odinga.
The entry of former trade and industry minister and immediate former secretary general for United Nations conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), Dr Mukhisa Kituyi into the presidential contest might be a blessing in disguise as it will tone down the country’s division among ‘hustlers’ and ‘dynasties.’
Dr. Mukhisa Kituyi is well placed to become the fifth President of Kenya. The former Kimilili legislator is well-hoisted above the local plebeian, cast in an international image, ready to chauffer Kenya to the global scene.
UNCTAD pitched Dr Mukhisa Kituyi on its  official website as a person who “has an extensive background as an elected official, an academic and a holder of high government office. He also has wide-ranging experience in trade negotiations and in African and broader international economics and diplomacy.” 
During his political stint, before the UN debut, Dr. Kituyi was never involved in any known scandal. Above all, he is an academician and a seasoned politician who understands Kenya’s political matrix. Some people might mistake him to a political newbie, but he is better placed to tone down the narrative pitting ODM leader against the deputy president.
Jubilee government has been a disappointment to many Kenyans. The country’s progress is currently mired in over-borrowing, rampant corruption and rising unemployment rates. The country’s economy is in doldrums, as the government deviates on its agenda to trumpet support for the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI).
Kenyans should make prudent decision in 2022 and desist from being driven by tribal bigotry, ethnic balkanization and elect a leader who is capable to reverse the ruins caused by the ‘drowsy ‘Jubilee administration.

How Musk's Neuralink Blindsight will allow the blind to see

  Scientists are still stunned by Elon Musk's plan to enable blind people to see, using his Neurolink's Brain Computer Interface chip dubbed Blindsight. Neurolink has already partnered with top Spanish scientists and US Santa Barbara to make a device called Blindsight, a smart Bionic Eye powered by brain implants and AI. Blindsight got the approval of the US Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA), though there have been no human trials. Musk confided that Neurolink will perform its first human implant of Blindsight at the course of 2025. Will Neurolink's Blindsight allow Blind People to see? Blindsight is designed to enable people with total visual impairment, as a result of damaged optic nerve but with intact visual cortex, to see. This is enhanced by bypassing the optic nerve and stimulating the visual cortex to create a visual perception. Visual cortex is part of the brain that receives, integrates and processes visual information relayed from the retina.  Blindsigh...

How Human Brain will replace Smartphones in communication

Elon Musk envisiges a future where smartphones are obsolete and communication happens directly through the brain.  According to Musk, Neuralink the brain-computer interface that his company is developing, could eventually replace phones entirely. Imagine navigating the internet, sending and receiving text messages, or even making calls, all with just your thoughts. This sounds like fictional science. However, Musk believes the integration of humans and artificial intelligence is a necessary mileage for human evolution.  Neuralink’s potential extends far beyond convenience; it could disrupt the field of medicine, communication and the way we interact with technology forever.

Why President Ruto risks being impeached

President William Ruto is treading a dangerous political path. His recent allegations over bribery in parliament might hound him out of office. The president has found himself in a political quagmire over his public expose on rampant graft in parliament. Legislators drawn from the National Assembly and the Senate were astounded by the manner in which the Head of State exposed their nakedness in the public gallery, instead of initiating prosecution process with the relevant mandated authorities. Majority of MPs were of the opinion that the president should have prosecuted his case with the relevant bodies established by the Constitution tasked to deal with corruption cases. National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula and his Senate counterpart Amazon Kingi have been directed by a section of MPs to summon the president to shed more light over his aspersions or risk being impeached. Homa Bay Senator Moses Kajwang' and his Nairobi colleague Edwin Sifuna were irritated by what they...
