Coup in Uhuru’s Mt Kenya Backyard, as Moses Kuria Feats

Uhuru Kenyatta’s popularity in Mount Kenya is under major test as Ruto and allies gain significant political mileage in the region. 

The recent by-elections have revealed a major paradigm shift in the Mt Kenya voting pattern, sending signals that the region no longer embrace their purported Kingpin Uhuru Kenyatta. The region had been predominantly known for following the wish of their Master, but things are gradually changing.

The election outcome combined with High Court ruling on BBI has been a big blow to Uhuru and associates.

Goerge Koimburi of PEP hammered Jubilee’s Susan Waititu in the concluded Juja mini polls. PEP is a Party associated with Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria, who is a close ally of Deputy President William Ruto. 

DP Ruto allies including Moses Kuria, Irungu Kang’ata, Ndindi Nyoro and Rigathi Gachagua have celebrated Juja’s electoral victory. Koimburi thanked the DP and his team for putting a spirited battle to trounce the State sponsored candidate, despite threats.

Koimburi won the seat by a landslide. He garnered 12,159 votes against his closest rival Susan Waititu who got 5,746 votes. DP Ruto’s camp also won the Rurii ward seat in Nyandarua County, while Raila’s ODM bagged the Bonchari constituency seat. 

Kiambu Governor James Nyoro and County MP Gathoni Wa Muchomba disputed the results, while counting was still underway.  The tallying process was temporarily stopped after scuffles emerged. 

Moses Kuria confirmed holding meeting with Kiambu MCAs over initiating process to impeach governor Nyoro. Nyoro is accused of causing disturbance at Mangu High School tallying center.

“Kiambu governor stands a risk of being impeached; we have held several discussions with Kiambu MCAs regarding the criminal conduct of Governor Nyoro. As the DPP takes up the matter following the directions of IEBC, the MCAs will concurrently move to impeach Dr. Nyoro,” Kuria stated.

Why Uhuru Lost Control of Mt Kenya

President Uhuru Kenyatta lost control of Mt Kenya after he closed ranks with ODM leader Raila Odinga. The region that overwhelmingly voted for him was irked by the decision to embrace Raila and isolate Ruto. 

The President held various meetings with regional leaders to forge a way forward and shut Ruto’s inroads. Moses Kuria once implored the president to bring development to Central Kenya. According to Kuria, the region had not benefited from Uhuru’s presidency.

In the concluded by-elections, Jubilee lost all the contests signifying the dwindling fortunes of the once vibrant ruling Party.

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 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...
