Gloves-off as Uhuru Allies Split over the move to kick out Ruto from Jubilee

President Uhuru Kenyatta’s allies have been divided over the decision to remove Deputy President William Ruto from Jubilee Party. A section of Uhuru’s insiders are of the view that Ruto should be removed from Jubilee leadership, while another group sees the move will hurt the president’s reputation.

According to the Standard Digital, those who are against the removal of the deputy president are of the opinion that Uhuru will not be able to effectively fight future political battles if the DP is removed.

The plot to dethrone the DP from the party leadership has dragged for some time, since last October, due to divergent opinions.

Jubilee Secretary General Raphael Tuju and Vice Chairman David Murathe confirmed to the media that a National Management Committee (NMC) meeting was scheduled to be held on Monday. However, Tuju declined to share the details of the meeting’s agenda.

“We have a National Management Committee meeting tomorrow, but I can neither confirm nor deny if Ruto’s removal will be the agenda. I cannot talk of an agenda before it is adopted by the meeting,” Tuju told the media on Sunday.

But Murathe confirmed that the meeting was meant to kick-start the process to fire Ruto as the deputy party leader.

“Jubilee NMC will meet tomorrow at 11am to recap recommendations of ejection of the deputy party leader as we await the NEC convention by the party leader,” Murathe stated.

The purge against the deputy president will be a culmination of his fall-out with Uhuru. This is after Ruto’s allies were removed from influential House positions and replaced with pro-handshake members.

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 Mt Kenya Leaders are wary about Change of Guard

As 2022 succession battle gains momentum in Kenya, leaders drawn from Mt Kenya region have become more concerned of their political future and survival. Mt Kenya region is predominantly occupied by the agikuyu, ameru and aembu communities. The region has produced three out of the four presidents. It boosts about the tyranny of numbers, thus making the region a battle ground for leaders from other region seeking to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta. Central alone produced Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, Mwai Kibaki and Uhuru Kenyatta as presidents. The only other Kenyan president drawn out of the region was Daniel Arap Moi.

Deputy President William Ruto has taken advantage of the brewing rebellion through making serious political forays in Central and its vicinity. ODM leader Rail...
