How Babu Owino took advantage of Gen-Zs protest to take over from Raila


Embakasi East legislator Babu Owino has won the hearts of Gen-Zs. This is after the firebrand two-term MP took to the streets in solidarity with the Gen-Zs.

Babu Owino is a vocal critic of the government. Just like Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, he has vehemently opposed the broad-based government arrangement which saw some of the ODM diehards co-opted into the government.

ODM Party Leader Raila Odinga betrayed the cause of the liberation struggle, when he chose to work closely with President William Ruto.

Raila's dalliance with government created a political vaccum in the opposition side. 

Gen-Zs marked their first anniversary after the anti-2024/25 Finance Bill protest, by storming the streets of Nairobi and other major towns in Kenya.

The 2024 Gen-Zs protests was one of its kind as youths managed to manoeuvre their way to Parliament, which is considered among the most protected zones.

President Ruto was coerced to thrash the 2024/2025 Finance Bill and send the entire Cabinet packing.

In the new cabinet arrangement, he sneaked in 4 ODM stalwarts to appease Raila.

Babu Owino is eyeing the gubernatorial seat and is most likely to oust Johnson Sakaja in 2027 general elections.

Babu rose to limelight during his university days, where he was considered as the Mugabe of UON owing to his long tenure as the SONU leader. 

He holds two bachelor degrees. He is a graduate of actuarial science and law. 

He was recently admitted to the bar as an advocate.

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...

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...
