President William Ruto triumphant entry in Kondele, Kisumu

-

 


President William Ruto made a notable visit to Kondele, a densely populated area in Kisumu County, Kisumu City, on January 30, 2026. This appears to be a recent event, with reports and social media posts describing his arrival and reception as triumphant and enthusiastic.

Kondele, historically associated with strong support for opposition figures like Raila Odinga and occasionally hostile to Ruto during past campaigns (including an infamous 2021 stoning incident during his deputy president days), showed a markedly different reception this time.

Large crowds turned out, with videos and posts capturing jubilant residents welcoming him, jostling for glimpses, and showing strong enthusiasm.

Key highlights from the visit:

Ruto addressed a massive crowd in Kondele, focusing on youth empowerment, rejecting tribal politics, and promoting unity through the broad-based government (often referencing the Kenya Kwanza-ODM collaboration).

Social media buzz included phrases like "Kondele Confirms Tutam" (indicating strong support or "we are with you"), with claims that Luo Nyanza residents were pledging significant votes to Ruto.

Posts described the entry as "triumphant," with one noting "if Luos love you, they show it," highlighting the scale of the welcome.

He was flanked by ecstatic crowds, and the event caused significant local attention, including traffic standstills in parts of Kisumu.

This contrasts with earlier visits, such as in August 2024, when Ruto also received a warm (and symbolically redemptive) reception in Kondele after past tensions, but the January 2026 event seems even more prominently framed as a show of support.

Videos and images from X (formerly Twitter) show the crowds, Ruto addressing residents, and the lively atmosphere.

The visit ties into broader themes of Ruto's outreach in Nyanza, emphasizing development, youth opportunities (e.g., Nyota funding, skills programs), and cross-political unity. It's being celebrated by supporters as evidence of shifting dynamics in the region.

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...

  Land is a vital asset and acquiring it requires utmost caution to avoid finding yourself in a protracted, unending legal battle. As Kenya's economy bites, there has been increased cases of land fraud.  Land disputes have been so rampant, hence the need for advocacy of future land buyers to be cautious when undertaking land transfer processes. Factors to consider when purchasing land in Kenya 1. Do a land search at the ministry of lands. This enables you to confirm the real owner of the land and know whether it has any legal dispute, loan or unpaid tax. 2. Site visit: Make sure you see the land physically and confirm its boundaries. 3. Land verification: Verify the authenticity of the property at the land registry and confirm if it is freehold, leasehold or communal. 4. Sale agreement: Engage a lawyer and a surveyor for legally sound transaction. 5. Land transfer: Make sure the original titledeed is transferred from the name of the seller to your name. 6. Register your land w...

Elon Musk envisiges a future where smartphones are obsolete and communication happens directly through the brain.  According to Musk, Neuralink the brain-computer interface that his company is developing, could eventually replace phones entirely. Imagine navigating the internet, sending and receiving text messages, or even making calls, all with just your thoughts. This sounds like fictional science. However, Musk believes the integration of humans and artificial intelligence is a necessary mileage for human evolution.  Neuralink’s potential extends far beyond convenience; it could disrupt the field of medicine, communication and the way we interact with technology forever. The future Musk envisions is not just coming, it's already in the pipeline. NEURALINK will make Smartphones completely obsolete. Neuralink is a company that was found by billionaire Elon Musk and develops brain-computer interface technology. Its goal is to connect the human brain to computers so as t...
