Kenya's Leadership Shocker: Kindiki Takes Deputy President Role in Mid-Term Power Shift!

Image
It was a momentous moment for Kenyan politics: Professor Kithure Kindiki took the oath of office, earlier today at KICC Nairobi, and became the Deputy President of the country, going down in history as one of the few officials to assume such a high office before the end of an electoral term. Far from the usual five-year election cycle, this presents a new dawn in Kenya's political landscape, testing the stability of governance structures in the country. The swearing-in of Kindiki is significant, not only because transitions at the executive level at mid-term periods are rare but also for what it represents: adaptability in governance amidst an evolving political climate.  Conventionally, a deputy president should serve a full term with the president except in circumstances beyond their control. This appointment in the middle of the cycle has, however, driven the point home that leadership changes can occur through constitutional processes and not necessarily through electoral cycle

HOPE AS MIKE SONKO OFFERS TO HELP BABY SAGINI RESTORE HIS SIGHT BACK

It is a sad dark ending for Baby Sagini, a three-year-old boy whose eyes were gouged out. Unknown to him and wondering why everything has turned black for him, he has to come to terms with the cruel reality of having to remain blind for the rest of his life, after both his eyes were mercilessly gouged out by an assailant.

The boy was playing with other children outside his grandmother's house in Kisii before the grotesquely tragic experience happened to him. He was snatched by an assailant and was found abandoned in a maize plantation at Ikuruma village in Marani Sub-county covered in blood. He was then rushed to hospital, where he is receiving treatment. 

Doctors have however said that he might not see again because his eyes were greatly damaged.

Despite the breaking news of doctors confirming that Baby Sagini might have to live with a disability, all hope is not lost as Mike Sonko has offered to fly the three-year-old boy to China for eye implants.

Mike Sonko, through a post on his social media page, has said that he has done thorough research and identified a hospital in Shenzhen South China called Dennis Lam Eye Hospital which is the best at successfully performing eye implant surgeries.

"However after contacting the hospital we were advised Baby Sagini must have a referral from atleast two Kenyan hospitals. We went ahead and booked an appointment for him to be reviewed at the Westlands laser eye hospital..." read the post on Mike Sonko's Instagram page.

The former Nairobi governor went ahead to explain that the implants will look and move like normal eyes but do not restore vision. They will help him with navigation sensors to allow him get around on his own in familiar places.

The main suspect,  Alex Main Ochogo, who is a cousin to Junior Sagini has been arrested and gaoled at Rioma Police Station. The 28-year-old was presented before Senior Resident Magistrate Christine Ogweno on Monday 19 December 2022 as further investigations are underway.

It is believed that he used the eyes for rituals.

Known for its diverse culture, rich agricultural lands, and strategic importance, Meru is now becoming equally known for its political drama. The past months have seen Meru being a hotbed of political intrigue, power play, and even an attempted ouster of its governor. But what is really happening in Meru, and why is it so significant? The Political Landscape of Meru Meru's politics have always been colorful, characterized by a mix of traditional leadership structures and modern political dynamics. Historically, the region has been governed by a blend of community elders, known as the Njuri Ncheke, and elected officials. This unique interplay has often created a delicate balance between respecting traditional governance and embracing the democratic process. However, in the past few years, this balance has been disrupted. The county has experienced rising political tension

All Eyes on the Senate: Gachagua's Impeachment Battle Reaches Critical Stage

Image
In a high-stakes session, 281 MPs voted in favor of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s removal , with only 44 opposing and one MP abstaining during the impeachment motion on October 8, 2024 . Following this dramatic decision by the National Assembly, Gachagua now faces a critical showdown in the Senate. The next phase will determine whether Gachagua is officially removed from office or if he survives the political storm that has engulfed him. The charges against him include gross violations of the Constitution, undermining the president, and economic crimes, placing his role as Deputy President in jeopardy.  The Senate will soon convene to either appoint a special 11-member committee to investigate the charges or hear the case in a full plenary session. During this period, Gachagua will have the opportunity to defend himself against the allegations, either in person or through legal representation.  If the Senate votes in favor of the impeachment, Gachagua will be officially ousted
