Wetangula deserted as Coup plotters find Asylum in DAP-K

Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula might find it hard finding a soft landing in the County as political heavyweights join the Democratic Action Party of Kenya (DAP-K). DAP-K is destined to dethrone Ford Kenya from the region and its environs.

Seasoned politician doubling as Kanduyi MP Wafula Wamunyinyi and his Tongaren counterpart Dr. Eseli Simiyu were welcomed to DAP-K with aplomb, where they were conferred as Party leader and Secretary General respectively.

DAP-K is associated with Defense Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa. The Party will advance the Azimio La Umoja campaigns in Western and the North Rift Region to countenance Okoa Kenya Alliance (OKA).

Former Vice President Musalia Mudavadi and Wetangula are among the OKA co-principals alongside Gideon Moi and Kalonzo Musyoka.

Wetangula’s fortunes have been plummeting in the recent past, since he severed ties with ODM leader Raila Odinga, after the dissolution of NASA. There is no single MP in Bungoma supporting the Ford Kenya leader.

Kabuchai legislator Majimbo Kalasinga, who was elected in a mini poll on a Ford Kenya ticket, has since shifted his allegiance to Deputy President William Ruto to the chagrin of Wetangula. It is only Chris Wamalwa from the neighboring Trans Nzoia County who is still allied to the Ford Kenya leader.

Kiminini MP Chris Wamalwa, who doubles as Ford Kenya Secretary General, is finding it hard to outwit Rift Valley Regional Coordinator George Natembeya in the quest for Trans Nzoia gubernatorial seat.

Natembeya will contest on a DAP-K ticket and has already set his agenda for the Trans Nzoia residents. Being a civil servant, he is set to resign next February.

DAP-K has higher stakes as it has the blessing of political colossus Raila Odinga and the so-called Deep State. It is alleged that Kakamega governor Wycliffe Oparanya and CS Eugene will lead the popularization campaign of Raila in Western region.

On the other hand COTU Secretary General Francis Atwoli will ensure that KANU joins the Azimio movement.

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...

Why Ruto will heavily rely on Mudavadi, Joho in his reelection bid

When Kenya president William Ruto was almost overwhelmed with gen z revolt, his landmark decision was to dismiss the entire cabinet. This occurred immediately after his refusal to sign the Finance Bill 2024/2025. Ruto endeavored to reconstitute a new cabinet, dubbed broad-based executive. He incorporated key opposition figures drawn from the ODM Party - a move that appeased the doyen of opposition Raila Amollo Odinga. Cabinet Secretaries drawn from ODM included: Hassan Ali Joho, Wycliffe Ambetsa Oparanya, John Mbadi Ng'onga and James Opiyo Wandayi. ODM is as good as dead, and Raila's age factor limits him from flying the Party's presidential flag again and has opted out by contesting as Africa Union Commission (AUC) chairman. President Ruto will heavily rely on two members of his cabinet in his reelection bid. Both Musalia Mudavadi and Hassan Ali Joho are billionaires going by their own assertion while appearing before the Parliamentary Committee on Appointments. President...
