The United States (US) government has reduced the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief Funds (PEPFAR) from a 5-year-plan to a 1-year-plan. Downscaling from the normal 5 year deal, Republican lawmakers demanded that the program should ban any nongovernmental organisations that receive PEPFAR funding from promoting or providing abortion services. “PEPFAR has never been an abortion program, and will never be because the 1973 Helms amendment which restricts U.S. foreign assistance programs from funding abortion abroad, "John Nkengasong, the program’s director stated.

He noted it is difficult for him to adequately express his disappointment in not being able to contribute as significantly as he had hoped to in many other areas with an eye on improved service delivery and the upcoming 2027 elections. “The positive changes we aspired to bring about in the office of the Governor would have to be implemented by someone else,” he told Mr Nyaribo. He added, “I expressed my fears to you not once but severally that it will get to a point where I will be viewed as incompetent not because of incompetence's sake but a regime unwilling to accommodate new and bold ideas and one that is captive to a past riddled with self-engineered setbacks.”

"Main character energy," "summery," "crisp" — yeah, this was definitely a favorite. The fizziness from the can really smacks you in the face, and despite having been in an open container that couldn't be resealed between testers, it didn't lose its fizz. Whereas McDonald's was "bouba," the canned Diet Coke was aptly described as "kiki." I took one sip and immediately said, "Whoa, zigzaggy." And if none of those adjectives means anything to you, think of it as the one you'd want to pour over ice with a little lime on a hot summer day.

The 2008 post-election violence appears to have heralded an era of political violence in the country. Contrary to the cosmetics surrounding the launch of the Constitution of Kenya 2010, political violence is now an entrenched part of our body politic. It is not a secret that youth mobilised during the post-election violence were merely put on recess and not permanently dismissed.
