Uhuru’s Government under Intense Criticism as Citizens Petition IMF to Cancel Kshs.255B Debt

Kenyan government continues to attract criticism over the surging debt rate that has already hit the ceiling. Uhuru Kenyatta’s government is currently unable to fund the loans and the international monetary fund (IMF) has stepped in to assist Kenya to bail out lenders.
When Kibaki handed over power to Uhuru Kenyatta in 2013, the country’s debt was Kshs.630 billion. Since Uhuru took over as the president of Kenya, the debt has skyrocketed to a whooping Kshs.9 Trillion.
Led by economist David Ndii, Kenyans turned to social media, in petitioning IMF to stop loaning Kenya. Twitter was on fire for the better part of Monday, as Kenyans lambasted their government over unnecessary expenses and rampant corruption. Below are some of the reactions that were expressed by Kenyans on twitter:
David Ndii: “Ok, let me explain. Uhuru Kenyatta and cronies have stolen or squandered most of the sh.6 trillion they have borrowed. The SGR is costing us more in subsidies. That is why we can’t repay the loans and IMF comes in to bail out lenders. We already ate. It’s payback time. #StoploaningKenya”
Cyprian Nyakundi: “PETITION TO THE IMF TO CANCEL THE KSHS.255 BILLION LOAN TO KENYA. Change.org #StopLoaningKenya”
Sam Lulli: “International Monetary Fund (IMF) to decide whether to approve Loans (Kshs 225B) to Kenya or revoke following the complaints by Kenyans on social media concerning corruption in the government of Kenya. #StopLoaningKenya”

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...

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.
