Uhuru exonerates Raila from Jubilee’s Failure, supports his presidential bid in Sagana

President Uhuru Kenyatta met Mt Kenya regional leaders allied to Azimio La Umoja, amidst Kenyans outcry over increased food prices. Ruto and allies have attacked the government over augmented cost of living.

The President has declared open support for opposition leader Raila Odinga to the chagrin of the Deputy President William Ruto. Uhuru made known his intentions at the Sagana 3 State Lodge meeting.

Uhuru had in the past hinted his support to his erstwhile political nemesis, though, he hadn’t declared it publicly. Sagana 3 ended speculations of whether Uhuru would direct Mt Kenya region in a different direction or not.

His declaration of Raila’s support come months after Mt Kenya Foundation under the auspices of business moguls declared their support for the ODM leader. 

The President has been accusing his deputy over early campaigns, instead of working. Uhuru christened Ruto as ‘tangatanga, due to his energy of traversing the country in his popularization campaigns. 

“I told William Ruto that the time for campaigns would come, that there was time for everything. I told him that the time was time for working because work changes livelihoods,” Uhuru Kenyatta stated on February 23, 2022.

Uhuru defends Raila on Jubilee Failure

President Uhuru Kenyatta strongly defended ODM leader Raila Odinga from opponent attacks over the opposition leader’s dalliance with the State. He tactically absolved him from the recent spike of food prices in Kenya that led to public outcry using the hashtag of #lowerfoodprices on Twitter and Facebook. 

The President refuted claims that Raila is part of his government, while defending him that the he joined him when positions were already filled, with the other half gone to his deputy and allies.

Uhuru posed: “When I met Raila I told him I had shared half of my government and I did not have any positions to give him. I only wanted the country to be united, did Raila join government?”

Betrayal in Town

Uhuru publicly endorsed Raila at Sagana State Lodge in Nyeri, in a meeting that was attended by Jubilee delegates who are pro-Azimio.

As the adage would have it, there are no permanent friends in politics, but only permanent interests. Uhuru wants to leave a legacy of having protected the interests of a few wealthy persons, while his deputy is on a looting marathon eyeing the icy part of the national cake.

Rampant corruption has permeated every sector of public life, with Ruto being mentioned as the most corrupt political leader in the country. The Deputy President of Kenya is surrounded with a cabal of leaders who have been numerously mentioned in corruption cases.

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...
