Barrack Obama campaigning for Democrats candidates in the USA and openly criticizing President Donald Trump on SH expenditures.
But a certain democratic country in East Africa wants a retired president to stop active politics for criticizing current administration!

Obama was also a first time senator and went on to become the president, but the democratic country is telling the first time senator that he can’t become the president.

In this piece, I try to explain what livestreaming is about, including its difference with electronic transmission.
"Livestreaming ... enables the public to watch, in real time, the results being transmitted from each polling station through a publicly accessible platform."

There is a reason the first thing serious liberation movements do is address education.
Amílcar Cabral said it.
Frantz Fanon said it.
Amílcar Cabral said the colonized must "return to the source," must recover historical identity not as nostalgia but as the specific foundation on which genuine independence becomes possible.
They were not being romantic.
They were being precise.
They understood that a people who do not know their own history cannot draw on it.
Cannot point to it and say:
We built things before you arrived. We will build things after you leave.
Cannot look at the condition the colonizer created and say with full confidence:
This was done to us. It is not what we are.
A people without that knowledge accepts the condition.
Does not demand the transformation.
Waits for permission from the people who designed the situation to fix it.
And the people who designed the situation are not going to fix it.
ALT Amílcar Cabral (1924–1973), agronomist, revolutionary thinker and co-founder of the PAIGC, led resistance to Portuguese colonialism in Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde. For him, liberation meant more than independence. It meant reclaiming history, culture and dignity.

There has been a lot of conversation about Parliament and the livestreaming of election results. So, what exactly is happening?
-In 2024, the Senate passed the Elections (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill, which proposed changes to Section 39 of the Elections Act. This section deals with how election results are determined, transmitted and declared.
-Clause 22 of the Senate's Bill proposed replacing the existing Section 39. In the proposed replacement, the specific requirement for IEBC to establish a mechanism for livestreaming results announced at polling stations was missing.
-Livestreaming allows Kenyans to watch results being announced at polling stations in real time. It gives the public another way to follow the process and compare what is announced with the results transmitted and published.
-Electronic transmission of results is important, but it is not the same as livestreaming. One sends results electronically; the other allows the public to watch the announcement as it happens.
-On 22 October 2026, the National Assembly deleted Clause 22 altogether. In its official clarification, Parliament said this preserved the existing Section 39, including the requirement for IEBC to establish a mechanism for livestreaming results announced at polling stations.
-According to the National Assembly's clarification, the provision remains under the version passed by the House. However, the Bill must still go through the remaining legislative process before it becomes law.
Transparency must be built into the electoral process, not left to assumptions.
Kenyans must also be able to follow how votes are counted, how results are verified and how the final outcome is declared.
As we approach the 2027 General Election, we must pay attention to the laws governing our elections and demand clarity whenever changes are proposed.
An informed public is an essential part of an accountable democracy. #VIP

Where are those screaming oh these are trees that needed to be harvested when you did not plant them in the first place.
Enjoy the desolate piece of land now as we wait for Elnino to sweep the top soil to river tana and silt what remains of our dams and end up bleaching the corals reef in Indian ocean.
This is criminal.

🚨 MIT just published the most comprehensive report, proving universities have no remaining reason to exist.
A committee of professors and students spent five months studying what AI is doing to learning on campus. The findings are a warning, not a footnote.
Study groups are disappearing. Office hours are emptying out. Problem sets and take-home exams no longer prove anything, because AI can produce a credible answer to almost any undergraduate assignment.
The report has a name for what's happening to students: "cognitive surrender." Reaching for AI the instant something gets hard, before even trying to think it through.
The numbers back it up:
46% of MIT undergrads use LLMs daily
90% say they're worried about their own overreliance
More students now believe AI makes them replaceable than believe it makes them capable
MIT's answer wasn't more surveillance. No AI detectors, no lockdown browsers. The committee called that path unreliable and said it just breeds distrust.
Instead: oral exams, semester-long portfolios, in-person project work, a required social component in every subject. They're even floating rethinking grades entirely, since without a GPA to game, most of the incentive to cheat disappears.
The most famous tech school on the planet just admitted the machines broke its teaching model.
Its answer was more humans, not more software.

Now you understand where Dangote's bravado came from. All along, the deal had been cooked right from the top to the point of forcing pension funds & state agencies to buy-and-hold KPC shares for him. This is a bandit economy!
Zinduko retweeted
DANGOTE, PRESIDENT WILLIAM RUTO AND THE KENYA PIPELINE TAKEOVER PLAN: By now and through earlier posts on this page, it must be clear that President William Ruto and Dangote are working together in business.
Below is the plan for the take over of KPC and how it is unfolding;
1. The President last week instructed the CEOs of public institutions that held KPC shares to sell them to a “Private Investor”. That is how a company associated with Dangote East African Petroleum Refinery ended up buying 24.76% from NSSF, PSSF, PCF and others at a LOSS. Pensioners lost money for President William Ruto to make money.
2. The end plan is to take over the majority shares in KPC. Their target is 51 % on a bad day and 75 % if everyone plays ball.
3. NSSF and other Public Institutions will be forced to sell the remaining stakes to the same “Private Investor”.
4. The next phase of the take over will be through a RIGHTS ISSUE. The assurance Dangote has been given is that President Ruto will instruct Kenya Pipeline to open a share sale of KPC shares through a Rights issue. All this was part of the Conditions Precedent. They are also exploring Private Placement but would raise Market related questions and judicial actions.
5. The Government of Kenya will decline to take the rights due to “unavailability of Funds”. The 35% allocation of the Rights to GoK will be taken over by Dangote where the President also has vested personal interests. NSSF which still has a stake will also decline if they will not have sold. There are plans to convince President Museveni and Uganda not to take up the rights.
6. If President Museveni refuses to play ball, the Dangote/William Ruto consortium will end up with between 51% to 58% of Kenya Pipeline. If he does, their target is approximately 75% of KPC.
7. This will lead to the dilution of Government owned stake in KPC at slightly below 20%. NSSF will also be diluted if they will not have sold the remaining stake. Museveni could play hard and snap one rights to avoid dilution of the Uganda stake.
8. These plans are to start in earnest.
The shareholding register of Dangote East Africa Petroleum Refinery must be made public.
The Investment Agreement will expose the incompetence of these his regime in negotiating for Kenyans. The problem here is that the same team that should be looking at the welfare of Kenyans as elected leaders of Government are also on the other side of the table as Shareholders. That’s why the government is adamantly refusing to share it with Kenyans. It is just crap at best and no Kenyan would stand the terms.
We are African and Africa is our Business..

State-backed institutions like NSSF that bought KPC shares using public and workers’ pension funds made virtually no profit from the sale to Aliko Dangote.
They bought at Sh9 per share and reportedly sold at Sh9.02, a difference of just 2 cents per share before transaction costs.

Parliament passes the Sexual Offences (Amendment) Bill, and with it a commitment that surviving sexual violence will not cost a child her education.
This is the Sexual Offences (Amendment) Bill, National Assembly Bill No. 78 of 2023, passed by the National Assembly on 21 October 2026. Here is what it means.
The Bill, sponsored by Hon. Dorice Aburi Donya, makes three main changes to the Sexual Offences Act.
First, it protects the education of victims. It requires the Cabinet Secretary responsible for education to establish programmes that protect and promote the right to education of victims of sexual offences, including teenage mothers. This gives statutory weight to a constitutional promise. Under Article 43 every person has the right to education, under Article 53 every child has the right to free and compulsory basic education and the best interests of the child are paramount, and under Article 27 no one may be discriminated against. A girl who has survived sexual violence, or who becomes pregnant, keeps her right to learn.
Second, it requires national public awareness. A new provision places a duty to promote public awareness of sexual offences, supporting the State's obligation under Article 21 to protect people from violence and to work to prevent it.
Third, it aligns the Act with the Constitution. The Sexual Offences Act was passed in 2006, before the current Constitution. The Bill updates its language, replacing references to the Minister with the Cabinet Secretary in several sections, so that the law matches the structure of government under the 2010 Constitution.
Because the Bill does not concern county governments, it does not go to the Senate. Having passed the National Assembly, it now proceeds to the President for assent.
The legal dispute worth noting. The protection of victims' education and the prevention of sexual offences command broad agreement. The harder questions are about delivery. The Bill places new duties on Cabinet Secretaries to run programmes and awareness campaigns, yet its own memorandum states that it creates no additional public expenditure, which raises the practical question of how a positive duty is funded and enforced. And where awareness reaches children, there is a genuine debate about how it is delivered, balancing the protective value of information against the role of parents and communities in guiding what is age appropriate. These are questions of implementation rather than principle, and they will be answered as the programmes take shape.
Key takeaway: the Bill turns constitutional guarantees on education, equality and protection from violence into specific statutory duties, and modernises a law written before the current Constitution. Its effect will depend on how those duties are resourced and carried out.

Some emerging questions around Dangote’s acquisition of a 25% stake in KPC include:
— Who were the original sellers of the 25% stake, and how was the block transaction structured?
— What is the strategic rationale behind the acquisition?
— Will the proposed Lamu refinery eventually be connected to KPC’s existing Mombasa–Nairobi pipeline network?
— How does the acquisition fit into Dangote’s long-term refining and petroleum distribution strategy in East Africa?
— Could KPC eventually distribute refined petroleum products from Lamu to Kenya and neighbouring markets?
Zinduko retweeted
The sellers of the KPC stake have some explaining to do.
If NSSF and pension funds were involved, why commit KES 42B to an investment only to exit nine months later with no return, while also foregoing the FY2026 dividend of KES 0.32 per share?
Strange.
