Why William Ruto is after Uhuru's Property


Kenya President William Ruto is on a vengeful mission, using State Power to wrestle his predecessor Uhuru Kenyatta and attempting to crush the opposition.

Recent scenario in which thousands of people stormed Uhuru's Northlands farm in Ruiru,without police alert, is something that speaks volume.

The government was fully aware of the raid and might have had a secret hand in it.

Opposition leaders led by Raila Odinga castigated the act. 

The attack occured days after National Assembly Majority Leader, who doubles as Kikuyu MP, Kimani Ichungwah sent retaliation signals to the street protests organized by the opposition.

Ichungwah had stated that if the protests would lead to stealing and vandalism of people's properties, then their supporters might also be prompted to destroy properties of key opposition leaders and their alleged funder, Uhuru Kenyatta.

The Kenyatta family owns vast land in diverse parts of Kenya. 

Just after the Northlands farm attack, the maasai community in Narok are also claiming his Kikuno farm, which they purport to be theirs.

Circle of Political revenge

When Ruto was Uhuru's deputy and principal assistant, he was sidelined and isolated. He was distanced from enjoying State Power, and Matiang'i got elevated functioning as DP in proxy.

At one point the former regime altered the security of the Deputy President and replaced the elite GSU recce squad with the Administration Police.

Uhuru elevated former Interior CS Dr Fred Matiang'i, and he acted as the prefect of all Cabinet Secretaries.

Matiang'i alongside former Interior PS Dr Karanja Kibicho used their proximity to State House to frustrate Ruto.

Fast forward: In 2023, police officers stormed Matiangi's home at Karen. He was then summoned to the DCI over alleged land scam.

Matiang'i was later forced to dance to the State tune under the command of one William Ruto.

President William Ruto seems to have adapted his predecessors tactics of molesting others for political support.

Raila Odinga suffered a major setback after a sizeable number of Jubilee legislators ditched him after electoral defeat and chose to work with the government.

Key Jubilee leaders led by EALA legislator Kanini Kega and nominated MP Sabina Chege are among those who defected their Azimio allegiance to Kenya Kwanza.

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...
