This follows a recent decision by the Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB) on speed dials, which has also continued to lock out millions from internet access. The local regulator has targeted a feature within web browsers called speed dials, on which advertising is now banned. BCLB however banned speed dials on one browser: Opera Mini, while allowing Chrome, Safari, and others to continue to operate speed dials. “It’s been widely observed on social media that millions of Kenyans are struggling without the monthly 1.5GB from Opera’s Free Data campaigns. The penetration rate for feature phones and smartphones stood at 62.9 per cent and 66.4 per cent, respectively, meaning feature phones still serve a huge number of Kenyans, who have since been pushed out of internet access.
Known as Rapid-RO, the AI tool has been found to successfully rule out heart attacks in over a third of patients across four UK hospitals during trials. Professor James Leiper, associate medical director at the British Heart Foundation (BHF), which funded the study, said: “This research demonstrates the important role AI could play in guiding treatment decision for heart patients. Rapid-RO was able to successfully rule out heart attacks in 36% of patients, compared to 27% ruled out by troponin blood testing alone. It was also found to be more accurate at identifying heart attack cases. Troponin tests missed four times as many heart attacks (108 cases) compared to the AI tool (27 cases), the researchers said.

KUALA LUMPUR: The law prohibiting the sale and purchase of tobacco products, smoking items or tobacco substitutes to those under 18 years old will come into force this year. It comes under the Control of Smoking Products for Public Health Act 2024 (Act 852), which Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad said will be enforced starting this year. Under the Act, which was gazetted on Feb 2, the provision of any services related to smoking to minors under 18 will also be banned. The minister said this is following the revisions to the International Health Regulations (IHR), which require World Health Organisation (WHO) members to create a national IHR authority. Dzulkefly said 194 member states of the WHO agreed to the amendments at the 77th World Health Assembly in Geneva, Switzerland.

The Kenya National Highways Authority (Kenha), Kenya Water Towers Agency, Norken International Limited and the National Environment Management Authority have been listed as respondents. If the project is allowed, the petitioners argue, it will have harmful and irreversible environmental, economic, and cultural impacts on the Aberdare ecosystem. The Law Society of Kenya, National Museums of Kenya, Kenya Wildlife Service and Kenya Forest Service are named as interested parties. The lobby groups moved to court to block the planned construction of the controversial 52km Mau-Mau Road, which cuts through the Aberdare National Park and Forest Reserve.
