Religion, to some extent, is one Africa’s biggest problems, I believe. I believe, however, you can all agree religion is one of the most sensitive issues that most of us avoid. It is fascinating how I always learn something new about how we moved from our traditional African religion to what we know today as religion, which was largely influenced by the West. “This is anyone who jumps from one church and or religion to another and is drawn into beliefs that are absurd. I think before Western influence, the idea I had of African religious history, we were just okay the way we were.

Digital ride-hailing platforms Bolt and Uber have warned that they would be forced to close down their operations in Kenya if Parliament approves proposals to impose a six percent tax on gross turnover for non-resident firms. Bolt and Uber separately told the National Assembly’s Finance and Planning Committee that imposing the Significant Economic Presence Tax (SEP) will likely lead to collapse of the industry due to losses or low margins. “SEP tax at six percent will likely lead to collapse of the industry due to losses or low margins. She told the committee that, when a similar SEP tax was introduced in Nigeria, several multinational companies including Microsoft, GlaxoSmithKline, and Uniliver left the country. “Taxation on digital services in Kenya is still nascent and the increase in rate from 1.5 percent to six percent is too steep.

pic.twitter.com/s6JIdy7Kru — European Commission (@EU_Commission) June 6, 2024Paradoxically, like many hard-right parties across the bloc, he wants more powers in the European parliament so he can weaken the EU from within. “Making a larger group in the European Parliament, that gives us power to change all those European regulations in order to be more in charge of it ourselves — here in the national parliaments,” he said. Almost 400 million voters will be electing 720 members of the European Parliament from beyond the Arctic circle to the edges of Africa and Asia. Mr Wilders’ party only managed 3.5% and no seats. The legislators, known as Members of the European Parliament, can vote on a wide range of legislation laws relating to climate, banking rules, agriculture, fisheries, security and justice.

An Italian woman has become the country's oldest new mother at the age of 63, after giving birth to a healthy baby boy following fertility treatment in Ukraine. "She arranged everything independently and I was only informed afterward," he said about the new mother, whom he also described as 'a stubborn woman.' On top of having to undergo fertility treatment in Ukraine during a time when war was ravaging the nation, Flavia's treatment alone cost €15,000. The record for Italy's oldest new mother was previously held by Italian singer Gianna Nannini for only 14 years, after she gave birth to her daughter Penelope at the age of 56. However, Flavia is still not close in age to the current record holder, Indian woman Erramatti Mangamma, who gave birth to twin girls at the age of 73 in 2019.

Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has been pushing for the one man, one vote, one Shilling revenue-sharing deal stating that it would favour the Mt Kenya region. Gachagua urged the people from the Mount Kenya Region to monitor politicians and their utterances to ensure they mark those against the proposal. However, according to leaders from the North Eastern region, the one-man one-shilling would lead to further marginalisation of their communities. MPs from the region insisted that the formula propagated by the Deputy President will lead to marginalisation of some counties. Politicians from the Mt Kenya region have been rooting for the distribution of revenue through the 'one man-one vote-one shilling allocation'.

Never mind that hundreds of millions were spent in five days, ferrying non-essential personnel, family members and ‘comedians’ to the US for a state visit. I mean our situation has gotten so bad that instead of this state trip getting the recognition it deserves, it was treated like a mockery by the international media. Every day, news and social media posts of him haunt us like the regrettable reflection in the mirror. Side note: somebody has to take social media and microphones from the first family of Kenya. The social media post has been picked up once again by international news organisations to continue the mockery of our leadership.

The late Shadrack Mitty. Its 'Toleo la Mchana' bulletin aired religiously for 30 minutes with or without the latest news.

When Jamila Mohammed joined QTV as the head of the station, she retained Mitty who later rose through the ranks to be a senior reporter at the station.
