  Are GMOs safe? Well, there is something else we all eat that should bother us more than GMOs. Genetic modification, in the context it is being used today, refers to editing the organism’s genome by inserting foreign DNA molecules. In most cases, crop genetic modification is done for two purposes; ·           Make the plant pest resistant ·         Make the plant pesticide-resistant. Many GMOs are not meant to increase yield per se, but yield increases automatically as resistance to pest and weeds is enhanced. In short, the losses that would have been caused by weed and pest is significantly reduced, thus, maximum production can be achieved if other growth factors such as irrigation, fertilizer application, and timely planting, are met. The foreign genes used in many GMOs are harvested from soil-borne bacteria such as Bacillus thuringiensis which has natural toxicity against pests. The Bt in Bt Maize and Bt cotton stands for Bacillus...

The BBI has few things in common with the upcoming Presidential Elections petition in the Supreme Court. The most conspicuous similarity is that like BBI, the elections petition will pit Dr William Ruto, PhD. on one side, and President Uhuru Mwigai Kenyatta & Rtd. Hon Raila Amolo Odinga on the other side.  Also, the case will be heard on a bench of the same jury that listened to the case of BBI. While 6 of the 7 judges of the Supreme Court upheld the rulings of the lower courts declaring BBI unconstitutional, Justice Njoki Ndungu dissented.  Lady Justice Njoki Ndungu argued that there is nothing wrong in Mr Kenyatta initiating the process of amending the law. She added that Mr Kenyatta being the president does not take away his political rights. She said sovereign power may be exercised directly or through an elected representative and that the President is an elective representative of the people. Could her ruling hint at whose' side she will take in the presidential elec...

By Njuguna Nyenjeri After Anne Waiguru successfully defended her seat in Kirinyaga, she sent a stun warning to her fierce competitor Wangui Ngirici who came the close second in a tightly contested race. Speaking after winning the race and being declared the winner by the County Returning Officer, Waiguru claimed that Ngirici should calm her nerves and wait for 5 years. She said her focus was to work for the people of Kiringaya now that the electioneering period is over. Anne Waiguru-Kirinyaga Governor  Waiguru's win came after claims of rigging were raised by both camps, with Waiguru the first one to claim rigging by Wangui Ngirici's team. In response, Ngirici downplayed the rigging claims telling Waiguru to accept the results.   “ The only back door that we know was at NYS during your tenure. TUPO SITE!” Ngirici responded.    Probably, Waiguru was using reverse psychology on Wangui Ngirici and she fell straight into the trap because hours later, it was Wan...
