World GMO Maize Awaits Release in a Public Participation

Kenyegon10 months ago10 months ago04 mins

Reading Time: 2 minutesThe National Biosafety Authority (NBA) is calling on the public to share their feedback regarding the proposed introduction of Genetically Modified Maize. Widely known as Bt maize. In a public notice, the National Biosafety Authority (NBA) announced that it had received an application from the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organisation (KALRO), including the African Agricultural Technology Foundation (AATF), seeking approval to release Bt maize into the market. The Authority stated that it is evaluating GMO maize. In regards to ensuring its safety for both human and animal consumption. The process is being conducted in partnership with other government agencies and biosafety experts. To ensure the GMO maize is as safe as the conventional varieties cultivated by farmers. If approved, the NBA will conduct further testing of the product to evaluate its performance across various agroecological maize-growing zones in Kenya. This will comply with the Seeds and Plant Varieties Act. Which mandates that all new crop varieties undergo National Performance Trials (NPTs) before being made available for cultivation by farmers. By using fewer insecticides for pest control when cultivating Bt maize, farmers can anticipate reduced crop damage, higher yields, and lower health risks. “Before making a decision on the application. The Authority now seeks public input on the proposed environmental release or open cultivation and placement on the market of Bt maize varieties in Kenya,” the notice read in part. Members of the public are encouraged to submit their comments via NBA’s postal address or by email at btmaize@biosafetykenya.go.ke. The application follows a High Court ruling last month. Where Justice Lawrence Mugambi approved the rollout of GMOs in Kenya. The cultivation of GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) crops has sparked debates in the past, with critics voicing concerns over health and safety risks. However, President William Ruto’s administration has strongly supported GMOs. Advocating for them as a solution to the country’s food shortages. “South Africa and the USA are 100 percent GMO. Have you heard of anyone growing horns because of consuming GMO?” Ruto posed during a joint media interview last year. “I am a scientist, I would not endanger the lives of those who elected me,” he added.

Africa’s Civic Space Under Threat: Government Crackdowns and Limited

Kenyegon10 months ago10 months ago06 mins

Reading Time: 3 minutesAccording to a report released Wednesday by a global alliance of civil society organizations. The 43 out of 50 countries and territories in sub-Saharan Africa have either “restricted” or “closed” civic spaces. The annual report, titled People Power Under Attack 2024. Highlights improvements in civic space in Botswana and Liberia over the past year, while conditions have worsened in Burkina Faso, Eswatini, Ethiopia, and Kenya. CIVICUS, which monitors civic freedoms in 198 countries, notes that civil society conditions have deteriorated in nine countries, including four in Africa. Overall, civic space across the continent remains “repressive.” Sylvia Mbataru, a human rights lawyer and researcher at CIVICUS. Reported that nearly 900 million people in sub-Saharan Africa live under politically repressive conditions. “Almost 70 percent of the population in Africa south of the Sahara is now living within a repressed civic space,” Mbataru said. “That means a big majority of the continent are not able to access their rights, are not able to speak out anymore, are not even able to engage in meaningful democracy efforts and governance efforts. So this is a really concerning figure to have.” The report highlights that many African governments have curtailed citizens’ rights with security forces committing violations against protesters, human rights defenders, and journalists. Authorities are accused of using force to disrupt peaceful protests, detaining demonstrators, and prosecuting individuals advocating for human rights, as well as journalists and protesters. Kenya’s ranking was downgraded from “obstructed” to “repressed” due to a violent government crackdown on nationwide protests in June and July. The protests were sparked by a proposed finance bill aiming to raise taxes. Rights groups report that over 60 people were killed during the protests, with many others going missing. These groups blame Kenyan security forces for the deaths, a claim the government denies. One of the affected individuals, 38-year-old Edith Kamau, lost her son in the anti-tax protests. She agrees with the report’s assessment of Kenya’s deteriorating human rights record and restricted civic space. saying that neither the wealthy nor the poor are safe. She mentioned that even affluent individuals are being abducted, and she criticized the current president for failing the people. Kamau’s son’s body was reportedly recovered from a government building, according to a police report, but she and her family have yet to receive justice. A post-mortem revealed that her son was shot at close range during the protests. The police indicated that the weapons used were carried exclusively by special forces. However, Kamau claims she has been kept in the dark about the details surrounding his death. The report also downgraded Burkina Faso’s status from “obstructed” to “repressed,” while Eswatini and Ethiopia saw their status shift from “repressed” to “closed,” indicating that authorities in these countries allow little to no public dissent or demonstrations.

Many countries are making progress in fostering political expression and defending human rights. Researchers note that civic space is “open” in seven African countries, including Botswana and Liberia, which have made improvements in the past year. Liberia, which saw a peaceful power transfer late last year, has experienced fewer violations of press freedom and peaceful assembly, according to CIVICUS. In Botswana, the ruling party, which had been in power since 1966, was voted out in the October presidential elections. Even prior to this, CIVICUS reports that civil society groups were allowed to challenge proposed constitutional changes.

China bans Mineral Export to USA in a new supremacy

Kenyegon10 months ago10 months ago08 mins

Reading Time: 3 minutesChina has banned exports of the critical minerals gallium, germanium, and antimony to the United States, citing their potential military applications. The move intensifies trade tensions following Washington’s recent measures targeting China’s semiconductor industry. A directive from China’s Commerce Ministry, addressing dual-use items with both military and civilian applications, emphasized national security concerns. The order, effective immediately, also mandates stricter end-use reviews for graphite exports to the United States, a material crucial for manufacturing electric vehicle batteries. “In principle, the export of gallium, germanium, antimony, and superhard materials to the United States shall not be permitted,” the ministry said. The restrictions reinforce previously implemented export controls on critical minerals introduced by Beijing last year but are specifically targeted at the U.S. market. This marks a further escalation in trade tensions between the world’s two largest economies, occurring just before President-elect Donald Trump assumes office. The United States is evaluating the new restrictions and has indicated it will take “necessary steps” in response, though specific actions have not been disclosed. “These new controls only underscore the importance of strengthening our efforts with other countries to de-risk and diversify critical supply chains away from PRC (China),” the spokesperson said. Representatives for President-elect Donald Trump have not yet responded to requests for comment. Chinese customs data indicate that there have been no shipments of wrought or unwrought germanium or gallium to the United States from January to October this year. However, the U.S. ranked as the fourth- and fifth-largest market for these minerals, respectively, during the same period last year. Gallium and germanium are critical materials used in semiconductors, with germanium also playing a role in infrared technology, fiber optic cables, and solar cells. In addition to the ban on these minerals, China’s overall shipments of antimony products saw a dramatic 97% decline in October from the previous month, following Beijing’s implementation of new export restrictions. China is a dominant player in the global supply of these minerals, accounting for 48% of the world’s mined antimony last year. Antimony is vital for the production of ammunition, infrared missiles, nuclear weapons, night-vision goggles, as well as batteries and photovoltaic equipment. This year, China has been responsible for 59.2% of refined germanium production and an overwhelming 98.8% of refined gallium output, according to consultancy Project Blue. “The move is a considerable escalation of tensions in supply chains where access to raw material units is already tight in the West,” said Project Blue co-founder Jack Bedder. The price of antimony trioxide in Rotterdam has surged by 228% since the start of the year, reaching $39,000 per metric ton as of November 28, according to data from information provider Argus. “Everyone will dig in their backyard to find antimony. Many countries will try to find antimony deposits,” said a minor metals trader in Europe, declining to be named. Representatives from Perpetua Resources, which is developing an antimony mine in Idaho with financial support from the U.S. government, and United States Antimony, which refines antimony in Montana, were not immediately available for comment. READ MORE: China’s move has sparked fresh concern that Beijing could next target other critical minerals, including those with even broader usage such as nickel or cobalt. “China has been signalling for some time that it’s willing to take these steps, so when is the U.S. going to learn its lesson?” said Todd Malan of Talon Metals, which is trying to develop a nickel mine in Minnesota and is exploring for the metal in Michigan. The only U.S. nickel mine will be depleted by 2028. “If the U.S. doesn’t learn the lesson now, what happens when China blocks exports of nickel or other critical minerals?” China’s announcement comes after Washington launched its third crackdown in three years on China’s semiconductor industry on Monday, curbing exports to 140 companies, including chip equipment maker Naura Technology Group. Trump, whose first White House term was marked by a bitter trade war with China, has said he will implement 10% tariffs on Chinese goods and threatened 60% tariffs on Chinese imports during his presidential campaign. “It comes as no surprise that China has responded to the increasing restrictions by American authorities, current and imminent, with its own restrictions on the supply of these strategic minerals,” said Peter Arkell, chairman of the Global Mining Association of China. “It’s a trade war that has no winners,” he said. Separately, several Chinese industry groups on Tuesday called for their members to buy domestically made semiconductors, with one saying U.S. chips were no longer safe and reliable.

University Strike Escalates prompting Urgent Intervention from the CS

Kenyegon11 months ago11 months ago04 mins

Reading Time: 2 minutesUniversity students will continue to stay at home after efforts to resolve the ongoing university lecturers’ strike faltered once more. A meeting convened by the National Assembly Committee on Education was once again called off after the Inter-Public Universities Councils Consultative Forum (IPUCCF) failed to provide documents proving that the government is ready to invest Ksh. 4.3 billion to facilitate the reopening of universities and bring students back to class. The committee was forced to summon three Cabinet Secretaries to address the issue. According to Committee Chairman Julius Melly, Education CS Julius Magoha, Labour CS Alfred Mutua, and National Treasury CS John Mbadi will appear before the committee next week to explain the government’s efforts to end the strike. READ MORE: SHA CEO Elijah Wachira suspended, Robert Ingasira appointed Acting CEO In a meeting involving the Education Committee, the Inter-Public Universities Councils Consultative Forum (IPUCCF), and the striking Universities Academic Staff Union (UASU), the university council failed to show that the Ksh. 4.3 billion needed to resolve the strike was available. Fred Simiyu Baraza, the IPUCCF Chairman, explained that the council had only managed to secure Ksh. 1.6 billion as an offer to the lecturers to end the dispute. However, the unions turned down this amount, demanding Ksh. 9.6 billion to implement the “Back to Work” agreement. “What we had available as a council was Ksh. 1.6 billion, but when UASU walked out on us, they went to the inter-ministerial committee, and that’s where the figure of Ksh. 4.3 billion was raised,” Baraza explained. He continued, “As the IPUCCF, we are under the Ministry of Education and do not issue commitment letters like the one you are requesting.” This response frustrated committee members, who accused the council of delaying the resolution process. “It is very disrespectful that we have met more than three times and still have no documentation on what we need. If they don’t have the documents, then let’s end this meeting. Why are they even here?” questioned Igembe North MP Julius Taitumu. Nabii Nabwera, the MP for Lugari, added, “Any government agency negotiating on matters that commit the government financially must have prior approval. This approval cannot be verbal. We are essentially asking the officer to provide us with a document they do not have.” In response to these frustrations, Chairman Julius Melly ended the meeting, announcing that the three Cabinet Secretaries would be summoned to appear before the committee on Tuesday, November 19, to address the issues raised regarding the ongoing strike.

Learn Essential Syntax and Key OOP Concepts In Simple ways

Kenyegon11 months ago11 months ago010 mins

Reading Time: 3 minutesDid you know that you can learn Python programming by starting with the basic syntax and gradually building your skills to become an advanced programmer? Below, you’ll find an explanation of key relationships in programming, including aggregation, composition, and association RELATIONSHIP IN OOP (Composition, Aggregation, Association) In Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), relationships among classes are crucial for building flexible, reusable, and well-structured systems. Three primary types of relationships define how objects and classes interact: Association, Aggregation, and Composition. Let’s explore each in detail. 1. Association Association is a broad term that describes any relationship between two or more classes. It indicates that objects of one class are related to objects of another, but neither class owns the other. It’s essentially a “uses-a” or “has-a” relationship, meaning that objects can be linked without any lifecycle dependency. class Teacher: def __init__(self, name): self.name = name def teach(self): print(f”{self.name} is teaching.”) class Student: def __init__(self, name): self.name = name def learn(self): print(f”{self.name} is learning.”) # Creating instances teacher = Teacher(“Mr. Smith”) student = Student(“Alice”) # Association: The teacher and student can interact with each other teacher.teach() student.learn() Explanation: Read Also: How to Optimize AdSense Click Tracking On the Website 2. Aggregation Aggregation is a specialized form of association representing a “whole-part” relationship. The key feature of aggregation is that the “whole” and the “part” can exist independently. This is known as a weak relationship since the lifecycle of parts does not depend on the lifecycle of the whole. class Department: def __init__(self, name): self.name = name self.teachers = [] # Aggregating Teacher objects def add_teacher(self, teacher): self.teachers.append(teacher) def list_teachers(self): for teacher in self.teachers: print(teacher.name) class Teacher: def __init__(self, name): self.name = name # Creating instances teacher1 = Teacher(“Mr. Smith”) teacher2 = Teacher(“Ms. Johnson”) department = Department(“Math Department”) # Aggregation: A department can contain teachers department.add_teacher(teacher1) department.add_teacher(teacher2) department.list_teachers() Explanation: 3. Composition Composition is a stronger form of association representing an even more tightly coupled “whole-part” relationship. In this relationship, the lifecycle of the part depends on the lifecycle of the whole. When the “whole” is destroyed, all of its parts are also destroyed. class Engine: def __init__(self): print(“Engine created”) def start(self): print(“Engine started”) class Car: def __init__(self, make): self.make = make self.engine = Engine() # Car “has-a” Engine (composition) def drive(self): self.engine.start() # The car needs the engine to drive print(f”{self.make} is driving.”) # Creating a Car object my_car = Car(“Toyota”) my_car.drive() Explanation: Summary Table Relationship Definition Lifecycle Dependency Example Association General relationship between classes None Teacher ↔ Student Aggregation Whole-part relationship Parts are independent Library ↔ Book Composition Whole-part relationship Parts depend on the whole House ↔ Room When to Use Each Relationship These relationships enable effective class design, helping you decide how tightly or loosely coupled your objects should be, which affects reusability, testability, and maintainability.

Iran reported that two soldiers were killed in these strikes. The United States urged Iran to stop attacking Israel and break the cycle of violence “without further escalation.” Israel’s “response was an exercise in self-defense and specifically avoided populated areas, focusing solely on military targets, contrary to Iran’s attack against Israel that targeted the country’s most populous city,” said National Security Council spokesman Sean Savett to reporters, emphasizing that the United States did not take part in the operation. “It is our aim to accelerate diplomacy and de-escalate tensions in the Middle East region,” he said. Britain: ‘De-escalation’ British Prime Minister Keir Starmer called for “de-escalation” and stated that Iran should not retaliate against Israel’s strikes. “I think we need to be really clear that Israel does have the right to defend itself, but we are urging, and have been urging, all sides to show restraint. That is why I am very clear today: Iran should not be responding to this,” Starmer said. – Russia: ‘Catastrophic scenario’ Russia called on all sides to exercise restraint and warned of a “catastrophic scenario.” “We urge all parties involved to exercise restraint, stop the violence, and prevent events from developing into a catastrophic scenario,” said foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, who also cautioned against an “explosive escalation.” Saudi Arabia stated that the situation “threatens security.” Saudi Arabia condemned Israel and warned against any further escalation of the conflict in the Middle East. “The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia expresses its condemnation and denunciation” of the Israeli strikes, the foreign ministry stated, reiterating its “firm position rejecting escalation of the conflict in the region,” which “threatens the security and stability of countries and peoples” in the Middle East. Syria expressed its “solidarity” with its ally Iran, supporting “Iran’s legitimate right to defend itself and protect its territory and the lives of its citizens,” according to its foreign ministry. Read More Iraq accused Israel of expanding the conflict in the Middle East and denounced global inaction. Government spokesman Basim Alawadi stated, “The occupying Zionist entity continues its aggressive policies and widening the conflict in the region through blatant attacks that it carries out with impunity,” citing “the international community’s silence” on Israeli actions. Jordan described the strikes as “in violation of international law and (Iran’s) sovereignty,” calling it a dangerous escalation that increases tension in the region. Foreign ministry spokesman Sufyan Qudah urged the international community to “assume its responsibilities and take immediate measures to impose a halt to the Israeli aggression on Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon as a first step towards reducing the escalation.” Turkey condemned Israel’s strikes on Iran, calling for an end to what it termed Israel’s “terror” in the region. The Turkish foreign ministry stated, “Putting an end to the terror created by Israel in the region has become a historic task for the establishment of international peace and security,” adding that Israel’s actions have brought the region to the brink of a greater war. Pakistan condemned Israel’s strikes, asserting that it bears “full responsibility” for escalating the conflict in the Middle East. Its foreign ministry stated that the strikes “undermine the path to regional peace and stability and also constitute a dangerous escalation in an already volatile region.” Hamas condemned Israel’s actions, calling the strikes “a blatant violation of Iranian sovereignty and an escalation that threatens the security of the region.” The movement expressed strong condemnation of the “Zionist aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran.” Germany’s Chancellor Olaf Scholz warned Iran against any “escalation” following Israel’s strikes on Iranian military targets. He posted on X, “My message to Iran is clear: massive escalating reactions must not continue. These must stop immediately. Only then can we open the possibility of a peaceful evolution in the Middle East.” The Algerian foreign ministry “strongly condemns and denounces” Israel’s military strikes on Iran, calling it “heinous aggression,” and urged the international community to halt further escalation. Tunisia similarly warned of the “severe consequences” of Israel’s strikes and called on the “international community to urgently assume its responsibilities to put an end to this reckless approach.”

“People” Accuses Biden Administration in the Trump Assassination Attempt

Kenyegon1 year ago1 year ago05 mins

Reading Time: 2 minutesOn Sunday, the Kremlin stated that it did not hold the U.S. administration accountable for the assassination attempt on U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump. However, it accused the administration of fostering an atmosphere that incited the attack. Trump was shot in the ear during a Pennsylvania rally. The incident is now under intensive investigation as an assassination attempt. The assailant was killed, and law enforcement officials have not yet determined a motive. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov informs reporters, ” We do not believe that the attempt to eliminate and assassinate Trump was orchestrated by the current authorities.” “But the atmosphere around candidate Trump…. provoked what America is confronting today.” U.S. President Joe Biden denounced the attack, emphasizing that such violence had no place in America. Peskov echoed Biden’s stance, emphasizing Russia’s condemnation of any violence in political conflicts. His remarks mirrored statements made by some of Trump’s Republican supporters, who promptly attributed blame to Biden’s government. “After numerous attempts to remove candidate Trump from the political arena. Using first legal tools, the courts, and prosecutors, attempt to politically discredit and compromise the candidate. It was obvious to all outside observers that this life was in danger,” Peskov said. READ ALSO : Thomas Mathew Crooks Key Suspect in The Trump Rally Peskov clarified that President Vladimir Putin had no immediate plans to contact Trump following the incident. Putin has previously indicated that Russia does not anticipate significant changes from the U.S. presidential election and criticized Trump’s president for straining U.S.-Russia relations. Despite this, Putin has shown interest in Trump’s statements regarding potentially ending the Ukraine conflict, although he emphasized support for peace efforts without detailed knowledge of Trump’s proposals. Following Saturday’s attack, global leaders, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelesky, swiftly condemned the violence, denounced political aggression, and wished Trump a speedy recovery. Regarding the incident, Peskov and Russia’s foreign ministry referenced the historical U.S. presidential assassination to highlight perceived security vulnerabilities within the United States. Vyacheslav Volodin, Speaker of Russia’s lower house of parliament, attributed the attack to America’s internal political crisis, societal division, and what he described as Washington’s intrusive foreign policies. Volodon also suggested that Trump’s stance on Ukraine might have played a role in the attack, noting Trump’s public call to cease military sponsorship. Russia’s foreign ministry used the shooting to urge the United States to redirect its focus away from funding Ukraine’s military and toward enhancing domestic law enforcement capabilities. Russia’s extensive military actions in Ukraine since 2022 have strained its relations with Western countries to levels not seen since the Cold War’s peak. When asked about the potential impact on the upcoming U.S. election’s legitimacy, Peskov declined to comment, affirming that it was a matter for the United States to decide without Russian interference.
