Kenyans and human rights organisations match along the streets of Nairobi to protest against the rising femicide cases in the country. Kenya’s state security apparatus has found itself under intense international scrutiny amid a worrying surge in alleged state-sanctioned abductions, shrinking democratic freedoms, and human rights violations. Families searching for loved ones who vanished during the anti-tax protests have grown increasingly restless, while rights groups criticised the president’s speech for failing to provide tangible solutions. For some observers, the speech fell short of addressing the heart of the matter-the festering crisis of accountability in Kenya’s security sector. Hussein Khalid, a human rights advocate from Vocal Africa, described the president’s remarks as underwhelming and way off base.

In a statement on X, Saboti MP Caleb Amisi added his voice to the jubilation noting that what the President had done was exactly what is required of leaders. Rein into the education sector, it is collapsing. During his speech, Ruto said he had fixed a lot in the education sector since coming into office, including saving universities from near collapse due to bankruptcy. Arrest corrupt leaders including CSs, PSs, governors, MPs, CEOs, DGs, etc,” the MP said. Amisi advised the President to bring on board technocrats to handle mandates that have proven insurmountable to political appointees, pointing out that "we have no spare nation”.

President William Ruto inspects a guard of honour mounted by Kenya Airforce during the State of the Nation address at Parliament on November 21, 2024. Ruto, the head of an administration which had just hours earlier vowed to continue with the multi-billion Adani group deals through hook or crook, directed for the immediate cancellation of the pacts. Energy Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi had just hours earlier told a house committee that the government’s controversial energy deal with Indian firm Adani Energy Solutions Limited will go on despite the firm's indictment in the United States of America over a multi-million-dollar fraud scheme. By dint of his pronouncement on the floor of the House in the afternoon, Ruto canceled deals worth approximately Sh334 billion with the Indian based group. The match in the powder barrel may have come after the United States government indicted Adani Group’s Gautam Adani and other executives over their roles in a multi-billion-dollar fraud scheme.

caption The high cost of living, choking taxes, questionable public-pri- vate partnership deals and chaos around the new national health insurance are among the main issues the country expects President William Ruto to address in Parliament today. Although the inflation rate dropped to a 17-year low in Oc- tober to 2.7 per cent, the majority of Kenyans who spoke to the Star said they were yet to feel the impact of the deceleration, with most of them struggling to procure a single meal for their families. Business operators expect the President to address over-taxation, which has seen many either close or slash operations while others are engaged in a cat-and-mouse chase with auctioneers.

Bob called Boy George and ordered him to fly in from New York on the day. “Bob bumped into Simon Le Bon of Duran Duran leaving the Picasso club on the King’s Road just after he spotted Gary Kemp from Spandau Ballet through an art gallery window. “At one point they even locked Duran Duran in the toilets. “British music was in such a good place and it all came together in a tiny studio, on a Sunday afternoon.”

The star is a red supergiant (like the famous Betelgeuse) and it sits in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy that contains some 30 billion stars. As the star has spat gas and dust into its vicinity, that material formed a cocoon around the star, seen in the below image as a thin elliptical ring. “For the first time, we succeeded in taking a zoomed-in image of a dying star in a galaxy outside our own galaxy,” said Keiichi Ohnaka, an astrophysicist at Chile’s Universidad Andrés Bello and lead author of the research, in an email to Gizmodo. This means that the dying star is ejecting a lot of material.”The team chose to image WOH G64 for a couple of reasons. Until then, we’ll have to be satisfied with this eerie, admittedly blurry Eye-of-Sauron-esque very of the red supergiant.

Police officers patrol Mama Ngina Street in Nairobi during President William Ruto 's State of the Nation address in Parliament on November 21, 2024. “The hallmark of the President’s address is the cancellation of the Adani deals in energy and roads. While many Kenyans applauded the President’s decision to cancel the Adani deals, there was widespread disappointment over his failure to address the high cost of living. On the Adani deals, lawyer Martin Waichungo, Law Society of Kenya regional chair, warned that the cancellation might lead to costly court cases. “The cancellation of the Adani deals is positive, but we need timely responses to other issues.

“Let them tell Ruto the truth, so that he speaks from the point of knowledge. It also seeks to raise excise duty on internet and telephone calls to 20 per cent up from 15 per cent. President Ruto’s government has also proposed a five per cent withholding tax on local sales promotion, marketing and advertising services. Those who spoke to the Star want the controversial national cover done away with and a quick restoration of the previous National Health Insurance Fund. Although employees are paying 2.75 per cent of their income to the new Fund, services rendered are way too low, the say.
