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.

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. In the recent past, the region has gone against the tide of State operatives as a sign of revolt over what they term as negligence from the government, despite electing one of their own to the much coveted seat.  Deputy President William Ruto has taken advantage of the brewing rebellion through making serious political forays in Central and its vicinity. ODM leader Rail...
