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 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...

Why World Tycoons Should Emulate Microsoft founder, Bill Gates, in the Battle against Climate Change

The silent biggest global pandemic is global warming. Global problem deserves global attention; and that is why world moguls and leaders should use their influence to initiate change that can positively impact the world. Microsoft founder Bill Gates has consistently advocated for environment conservation and has been a key personality in the battle against climate change . Gates keen focus has been to increasing access to clean electricity in remote parts of the world. As a key defender of the environment, he is quoted by the Guardian saying that: “The idea of adding new electricity capacity- you can’t just go build coal plants.” The Guardian reported that Gates likes using private jets because he can get affordable fuel for flight. He revealed that he has already footed the bill of carbon footprint to a group dubbed Climeworks , a firm that captures up direct air in Iceland. Gates pointed out that the future of vehicles travels lie with electric cars; but excluded the el...
