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 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.

Why Matiang'i comeback threatens Ruto's re-election bid

  Former Interior cabinet secretary Dr. Fred Matiang'i is a great rival to President William Ruto in his 2027 re-election contest. Matiang'i is set to give Ruto a run for his money, owing to his track record as a cabinet secretary in the previous regime.  Former President Uhuru Kenyatta trusted Matiang'i more than any other cabinet secretary due to his workaholic nature and might be forced to finance his presidential quest.  The former Interior CS is reportedly eyeing the presidential seat on a Jubilee ticket, as alluded by the party's secretary general Jeremiah Kioni. Ruto's dalliance with the doyen of opposition politics and ODM party leader Raila Odinga had complicated the opposition's quest to unseat the sitting Head of State. Matiang'i comeback seals the vaccum left by Raila's departure. Why Ruto might lose Kenya's presidential seat in 2027 Ahead of 2022 general elections in Kenya , President William Ruto promised Kenyans heaven on Earth onl...

Uproar after armed goons infiltrate women press briefing at KHRC

Armed militia stormed KHRC, causing lots of chaos, confusion and mayhem. Goons disrupted Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHCR) press conference in Nairobi on Sunday, and accused the organizers for planning Saba Saba protests . Mothers had convened at the KHRC offices to address issues related to seeking Justice for victims of police brutality. The attack prompted the conveners to scamper for safety. According to Standard Media, one journalist attached to them lost a phone which was snatched from him by one of the goons. Former Chief Justice David Maraga condemned the Sunday attack.  Maraga voiced his criticism on his social media account and advised the president that such acts might lead to anarchy. “I vehemently condemn the violence against mothers gathered at KHRC to speak up against the use of violence at tomorrow’s Saba Saba commemoration,” Maraga wrote on his X account (formerly Twitter).  He added that President Ruto should cease using armed militias against Kenya...
