Key projects in Kisumu City Bolsters Uhuru, Raila Handshake

Kisumu City slated to hold this year’s madaraka day, as residents reap big from the golden handshake between President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga. Raila will be acclaimed from the recent rapid development in the region.

The doyen of opposition politics will begrudgingly bestrode Kisumu on Madaraka Day with grace and stride as he hosts Uhuru to lead the nation in celebrating the national event, characterized with Kenya’s past attainment of internal self-rule.

Projects initiated in Kisumu by President Uhuru Kenyatta

The government of Jubilee funded the construction of a Kshs.79million ultra-modern market at Otonglo in Kisumu West Sub-county to accord traders some decent space to execute their business activities.

Jubilee government is credited for the rehabilitation of Kisumu Port which cost the taxpayer Kshs.3billion. The project intended to make Kisumu the economic hub for Western Kenya.

The extended Luo Nyanza, which was initially marginalized by successive regimes, has benefited a lot after Uhuru and Raila chose to put aside their political differences.

President Uhuru, through the Ministry of sports, renamed Kisumu Mambo Leo Ground as Jomo Kenyatta Stadium in mid-2020 and initiated the upgrade process at a cost of Kshs.498million. Upon completion, the stadium will be elevated to a world-class status.

When complete, the stadium will complement Moi Stadium in hosting high profile games such as Premier League and the National Super League.

The Inland Container Depot at Kibos is set to curtail port traffic and to ease the movement of cargo.

The Mbita-Rusinga floating bridge was constructed, to replace the causeway that had been used for more than 30 years, by Uhuru’s government. The bridge that connects Mbita town and Rusinga Island gives way to the main tourist facilities, which include Rusinga Island Lodge and Mbita Tourist Hotel.

Nyanza residents expect more goodies from the national government as they continue wallowing in a miasma of ‘handshake’ blessings.

How Prepared are Nyanza Leaders?

ODM leader Raila Odinga and Kisumu Governor Anyang’ Nyong’o led a delegation of leaders to inspect preparations for this year’s Madaraka Day Celebrations at Kisumu on May 24.

Kisumu will host Madaraka Day national event amid surging numbers of Covid-19 infections, with cases of Indian variant recorded in the Lakeside City. Governor Nyong’o advised residents to observe Covid-19 protocols and avoid crowded places.

A group of Nyanza legislators met President Uhuru Kenyatta at state House on Friday to discuss about economic challenges facing the region ahead of his Kisumu tour. MP James Nyikal briefly confided to the press some of the details they discussed with the Head of State.

Interior Cabinet Secretary Dr. Fred Matiang’i and his ICT counterpart Joe Mucheru also attended the State House event.

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...

According to Musk, Neuralink the brain-computer interface that his company is developing, could eventually replace phones entirely.

The future Musk envisions is not just coming, it's already in the pipeline. NEURALINK will make Smartphones completely obsolete. Neuralink is a company that was found by billionaire Elon Musk and develops brain-computer interface technology. Its goal is to connect the human brain to computers so as t...

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...
