Kalonzo, Gachagua denied entry at a Church Service attended by DP Kindiki

-

 


Kalonzo Musyoka, Rigathi Gachagua and Justin Muturi were denied entry to a church service at Kaaga Methodist Church in Meru County, where Deputy President Kithure Kindiki was attending. 

The opposition leaders had been invited to the ordination service of Bishop David Mwiti Muthuiya, but were escorted out by anti-riot police officers. 

The police claimed they were asked to leave, sparking tensions between the opposition and government factions.

The incident has drawn criticism from Kalonzo, who blamed Kindiki for the move, calling it a violation of constitutional freedoms. The opposition leaders later attended an alternative church service at the East Africa Pentecostal Church.

Later on, Kalonzo Musyoka issued a statement castigating the police for receiving command from Deputy President Kithure Kindiki to block them. 

Kalonzo termed the act as unconstitutional and repressive.

  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...
