Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has finally broken his silence moments after his predecessor Kithure Kindiki was sworn in.

Gachagua through a statement shared via his official X account on Friday, November 1, 2024, stated that he was happy to be back at his rural home.

The ousted DP shared a photo he had posted with his family, stating that he would remain forever grateful to God, for giving him a loving and supportive family.

Gachagua had posed for the photo together with his wife Dorcas Gachagua and his two sons.

“Home Sweet Home! Thanking God for the gift of my family. The smell of fresh grass, sounds of chirping birds is what a happy family needs. I will remain forever grateful to God, for giving me a loving and supportive family. We are happy to be home, where I was born and brought up! I can’t wait for the morning to take my walk in Hombe Forest, enjoy the beautiful scenery of Mt Kenya as I thank God for His kindness. God Bless Kenya,” Gachagua said.

Kindiki took his oath of office to be Kenya’s new Deputy President on November 1, 2024.

The former Interior Cabinet Secretary has been sworn in at an event that was held at KICC on Friday, November 1, 2024.

Kindiki first took his oath of affirmation of due execution of office for the Deputy President.

“I, Kithure Kindiki, in full realisation of the high calling I assume as Deputy President of the Republic of Kenya, do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to the Republic of Kenya; that I will obey, preserve, protect, and defend this Constitution of Kenya, as by law established, and all other laws of the Republic; and that I will protect and uphold the sovereignty, integrity, and dignity of the people of Kenya, so help me, God,” Kindiki affirmed.

Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga is among the candidates preferred for the Deputy President post should DP Rigathi Gachagua get removed from office by impeachment.

In a latest poll released by InfoTrak, Raila has garnered 2 per cent.

The poll places Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki as the favourite candidate to take over from DP Gachagua.

CS Kindiki stands as the most preferred candidate after garnering 20 per cent, followed by Kirinyaga County governor Anne Waiguru and Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi who have tied at 5 per cent.

Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga came fourth alongside Kiharu Member of Parliament Ndindi Nyoro at 4 per cent.

However, DP Gachagua has vowed to defend his position to finality, claiming that the charges imposed on him were unfair and that his current woes were politically orchestrated.

282 MPs voted to impeach Gachagua, with 44 voting against his ouster.

Nail Biting: How to Stop Biting Your Nails

by Jacinta Mbithi
written by Jacinta Mbithi

Is it normal for people to eat their nails? And is it okay if you eat your nails? Or is nail biting a disorder?

Well, in most cases, people find themselves biting their nails if they are stressed, mostly emotional or mental stress.

Nail biting tends to show up in people who are nervous, anxious or feeling down, which they use as a way to cope with these feelings.

You may also find yourself doing it when you’re bored, hungry or feeling insecure.

Below are some of the ways that can help you stop nail biting:

  • Cut them short: If there is enough nail to grab with your teeth, it won’t feel as satisfying when you give biting a try.
  • Coat them with a bad taste: There are special nail polishes with a bitter flavor you can paint on your nails. The terrible taste will make you think twice before chewing.
  • Splurge on manicures. Spending money and time at a nail salon will give you both good-looking nails and a reason to keep them that way.
  • Wear gloves. It may sound silly, but if you can’t get to your nails, you can’t bite them. If gloves won’t work for your daily schedule, you can look for stickers made to cover nails — they can have the same effect.
  • Find your triggers. Notice how you feel or what you’re doing when you bite your nails. Once you know what kicks you into nail-biting drive, you can try to find other ways to cope.
  • Keep your hands or mouth busy. Find something to fiddle with — a stress ball, a worry stone, or even a pen to click. Chew gum so your mouth has a job. Give your nail-biting energy another place to go.

List of Issues Raila has Promised to Tackle Once he Clinches AUC Chairmanship Post

by Jacinta Mbithi
written by Jacinta Mbithi

President William Ruto has officially launched Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition leader Raila Odinga’s bid for African Union Commission (AUC) chairmanship bid.

The event that was held at State House, Nairobi, on Tuesday, August 27, 2024, was attended by East African Heads of States, who included Uganda’s Yoweri Museveni, Tanzania’s Samia Suluhu Hassan, South Sudan’s Salva Kiir and representatives from Rwanda and Burundi.

Raila has promised to tackle several issues in Africa, should he manage to clinch the role of AUC Chairmanship.

Here are some of the issues Raila has promised to tackle.

Agricultural Transformation

Raila has pledged to promote market access within the continent and value addition in Africa’s agricultural and aquaculture sectors.

He has also promised to promote sustainable food production, agribusiness and the modernisation of agriculture to reinforce food security, to foster job creation and enhance rural livelihoods.

Gender Equality And Equality

Raila says throughout his life, he has been an indefatigable champion of the rights of women and girls. As Chairperson of AUC, he says he will prioritise opportunity, dignity, and security for women and girls across the continent.

Not Funded By You: Charlene Ruto Clarifies The Structure of Office of The First Daughter

by Jacinta Mbithi
written by Jacinta Mbithi

President William Ruto’s daughter Charlene Ruto has come out to clarify on her ‘Office of The First Daughter’ remark after public outcry.

In a press statement issued Wednesday afternoon, Charlene said she referred to the entity handling her diary as Office of the First Daughter in private capacity.

Charlene clarified that the office was neither constitutional, nor was it drawing funds from the National Treasury.

The president’s daughter came under sharp criticism on Tuesday, December 13, when she introduced her delegation to Tanzania as members of staff at the Office of the First Daughter.

At the time, she was addressing delegates at the 2022 YouLead Summit held at the East African Community Headquarters in Arusha, Tanzania.

“The Office of the First Daughter is a private entity. It is neither a constitutional office, nor is it being funded by Kenyan taxpayers. It purely facilitates the activities and programmes run by myself,” Charlene Ruto said.

She further noted that the office amplifies the Kenyan youth’s voices in efforts to enable them get personal development opportunities.

“Through its independent structure and facilitators, the office has engaged various players across Kenya and beyond in line with some of its objectives of championing youth-based agenda and climate change advocacy,” said Charlene Ruto.

The Untold Dangers of Consuming Borehole Water in Nairobi

by Jacinta Mbithi
written by Jacinta Mbithi

Have you been drinking borehole water in Nairobi? Well, boreholes allow businesses and homes to access private water supply with no restrictions and fewer costs, but how safe is this water?

Kileleshwa ward Member of County Assembly (MCA)-cum blogger Robert Alai Friday morning sparked a debate when he advised Nairobi residents to avoid drinking borehole water.

Taking to his official Twitter account, Alai told people living in Nairobi to reduce the consumption of the borehole water, noting that it has been slowly killing people.

“The borehole water in Nairobi is killing you people. We must reduce the consumption of the borehole water. Please guys,” Alai posted.

But why do you think the politician-blogger is warning people to reduce the consumption of borehole water?

Well, a lot of companies such as farms, hotels or schools will use a lot of water each day, making a borehole a much more affordable option in the long run. Although all of this free water seems great, there are a lot of questions about it since borehole water isn’t cleaned in the same way that mains water is.

Mains water mainly comes from recycled wastewater which has been purified to be made safe for drinking purposes. Boreholes, on the other hand, get their water straight from the ground which won’t go through the same treatment processes as mains water.

Safety of borehole water

Do you live at an apartment? Does it have a borehole? You agree with me that most of the waters supplied in most Nairobi apartments are pumped directly from the borehole into the storage tanks then supplied in the houses for consumption.

Whereas you can drink borehole water, there are rules and regulations defining the parameters to look out for before taking borehole water for consumption.

Borehole water can only be fit for drinking once it has been tested and approved by a health officer.

Unlike mains water, which is actually 60% recycled wastewater, water from boreholes comes straight from the ground making it 100% fresh and natural.

However, since it is coming straight from the ground this means that it could possibly have higher levels of iron, magnesium, calcium or other minerals as well as some bacteria.

Most of these are harmless however, to vulnerable people like babies, it could have some implications on their health, which is why it is important to get the water checked before drinking it.

Treatment of borehole water

Most apartments in Nairobi that have allowed tenants to drink borehole water have been treating it by chlorination. But do you know that this still poses a danger to your health?

Various studies have found that chlorination without regulation is not good for human consumption.

Borehole water can cause high blood pressure

A Nigerian medical doctor once revealed that borehole water consumption can lead to high blood pressure.

Each borehole, if you have not greater than 75mg of chlorine per liter, it’s okay. But by the time it starts getting up to 200mg per liter, it will start giving you a salty taste.

Most Nairobi borehole waters are salty.

PHOTOS: Infinix Holds Special Red-carpet Event For New Marvel Studios Film “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”

by Jacinta Mbithi
written by Jacinta Mbithi

A special red-carpet event for the new Marvel Studios film “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” was held at the Century Cinemax in Sarit Centre, Nairobi, in Kenya on Wednesday.

The premiere, organised by Mobile phone maker Infinix, attracted a large group of talent, filmmakers and the press for the red carpet rollout.

The sequel to the $1.348 billion grossing original film is set to play across multiple screens in Kenya starting Friday.

Lupita Nyong’o’s parents

In attendance were ‘Black Panther’ star Lupita Nyong’o’s parents, Prof Peter Anyang’ Nyong’o, who is the governor of Kisumu County, his wife Dorothy Nyong’o and other family members.

Lupita’s parents were the star attraction of the night, and they mingled and took pictures with fans before the screening started.

Death of Chadwick Boseman

The film follows the death in 2020 of American actor Chadwick Boseman, who played King T’Challa in the original movie released in 2018.

“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” pulls off a difficult dive after Boseman’s death.

powerful mythical nation

With the introduction of anti-hero Namor (Tenoch Huerta), the king of the underwater kingdom Talokan, who breaches Wakanda’s defences while the country is still grieving for T’Challa, ‘Wakanda Forever’ presents another powerful mythical nation with roots in the Mayan culture.

It expands on that, weaving in a Latin American perspective with a similar degree of cultural specificity in the introduction of the Aztec-inspired antagonist Namor, king of the ancient underwater world of Talokan.

Boseman’s death is poignantly filtered into the story from the start, beginning with off-screen death throes.

‘Wakanda Forever’, grappling in the aftermath of loss, ultimately seeks something rare in the battle-ready superhero landscape.

Raila Tears Into DP Ruto Shortly After Receiving BBI Signatures

written by Jacinta Mbithi

Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Raila Odinga has torn into critics of the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI).

Taking to his official twitter account on Friday December 4, shortly after receiving the BBI signatures from 13 regions across the country, the former Prime Minister slammed those claiming to be speaking for the people.

Deputy President Dr William Ruto and his allies have been opposing the constitutional changes, with the DP claiming to be speaking for millions of Kenyans.

However, Raila said that those claiming to be speaking for the people should leave them to speak for themselves.

Raila noted that the people have already spoken by appending their signatures in support of the BBI, which is aimed at amending the 2010 constitution, through a referendum that has been proposed to happen in 2021.

He further revealed that over 5 million Kenyans had appended their signatures in support of BBI.

He said that the journey towards referendum now continues, with the collected signatures expected to be presented to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) for verification.

“I appeal to the naysayers out there who claim to be speaking for the people to realize that the people have spoken and let the people continue speaking for themselves. Over 5 million Kenyans have thus far appended their signatures endorsing the BBI process. The journey continues!”Raila tweeted.
