Secondly, we hope that our standards of national discourse will improve. Unfortunately, the reality is that there are no absolutes in social economic and political issues. A significant portion of Kenya’s political and social stability is dependent on how well we invest in strong devolved governments. Unfortunately, the ten Jubilee years were spent weakening the devolved governments and strengthening the top. We continue to naively believe in more law as the transforming agent for Kenya while what we need is a rethink of our value system.

Britain’s favourite Tesco meal deal combination has been revealed.

Sudan's RSF are war criminals and there can be no peace with them, Sudan's army chief said. Sudan's army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan on Friday vowed to continue a nine-month war between the military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), rejecting the latest peace efforts. The US has accused both the army and RSF of war crimes, and it says the RSF is also responsible for crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing. Burhan said he would arm Sudanese people who wanted to fight the RSF and urged them to join the military. It was an apparent reference to the United Arab Emirates, which the army accuses of supporting the RSF.

Kenny Smith (right) and other members of the NBA on TNT crew helped Barkley with his Diet Coke resolution. Diet Coke is an abomination to the soda industry; it’s barely better than Mountain Dew and is a joyless knockoff of its famous predecessor. You don’t need a religious level of self-control to abstain from drinking Diet Coke. So he meandered on over to Sir Charles’ desk, and promptly drew out – wouldn’t ya know it – a Diet Coke. Charles Barkley said he wanted to give up Diet Coke as a New Year's Resolution.

Charles Barkley’s New Year Resolution: No More Diet CokeBasketball icon Charles Barkley has kick-started the New Year with a resolution to quit his longtime association with Diet Coke. Barkley’s Bond with Diet CokeKnown for his unique pre-game ritual, Barkley indulged in a meal of McDonald’s fish fillet sandwiches and fries, washed down with Diet Coke. This ritual extended past his active playing days, as viewers of Inside The NBA would often see him sipping from a Diet Coke-filled mug during broadcasts. The gesture left Barkley with a water-filled mug as a Diet Coke substitute. The ultimate success of Barkley’s resolution is yet to be determined, but his warm-hearted approach to the situation has indeed won over viewers and fans alike.

Kenya has officially welcomed tourists under its new visa-free entry system. Visa requirements are now waived for all travellers to Kenya, regardless of nationality. Kenya said Friday it had welcomed the first batch of foreign tourists who arrived under a simplified entry system it hopes will encourage more visitors. Under the new system, travellers apply online for an electronic travel authorisation (ETA) and pay a $30 (R560) "processing" fee. Last year President William Ruto announced that Kenya would become a "visa-free country" and existing requirements would be waived in January.

Disney+ announced today that it will not move forward with a second season of the action-fantasy series American Born Chinese. The decision to cancel the series comes seven months after Disney debuted the eight-episode series on its streaming service, Disney+. Ben Wang, Yeo Yann Yann, Chin Han, Daniel Wu, Jimmy Liu, and Sydney Taylor also star as primary cast members. In addition to being a powerful story about lineage, fitting in, and stereotypes that have left a negative and lasting impact on society, American Born Chinese has become a touchstone release for many of its fans. It’s a shame to hear Disney is canceling American Born Chinese before the story reaches its powerful conclusion.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo says it has had no talks with Israel over housing Palestinian refugees. It is not impossible that those reports confused the Democratic Republic of the Congo with Congo-Brazzaville. The DRC has a long history of dealings with Israel, dating back to the administration of Mobutu Sese Seko in what was then known as Zaire. Israel played a significant role in the military, economic, and political survival of Mobutu's first three decades in office. Israel opened its embassy in the DRC soon after independence in 1960, but the Israeli embassy in Kinshasa was closed in 2003 because of conflict in the country.
