The Pulpit President: Religion and Ruto

Students' Analyses, Students' Tribune

By Iddah Apondi   The great Marxist thinker Karl Marx once opined that “religion is the opium of the people.” These words hold great resonance in the African continent. In examining Kenya and its dance with religion like other African countries, one can see that there exists a mixture of religion and the daily lives of people. The 2020 report on International Religious freedom: Kenya estimated that as of 2019 approximately 85.5% of the total population of Kenyans are Christians, 11% Muslim and less than 2% fall in to the religious groups...

How Social media shaped the 2022 Kenyan Election

Students' Tribune

By Ted Apondi   Having just concluded the controversial general election on August 9th, a wide array of actors in Kenya have taken steps to create a controlling narrative. Political parties, analysts, agents and voters and non-voters alike have all stormed the social media scene on Twitter, Meta and Instagram to give their view and assert their position on the outcome of the election. The Independent Electoral and Boundary Commission (IEBC) has been at helm of hilarious memes, political analyses and some worrying clickbait stories. Now, the Supreme Court will determine whether...

Kujenga Amani: Opposition as ‘Incumbent’ and ‘Incumbent’ as Opposition: Analyzing the Key Issues in Kenya’s 2022 Presidential Campaigns

blog, General Blogs, Politics

By Nicodemus Minde Recent victories by opposition parties in Zambia, Malawi, Cape Verde, and Ghana are challenging the power of the incumbent thesis in African elections. In Kenya, no sitting president has ever lost an election but a sitting president has seen his preferred candidate lose an election. In 2002, longtime President Daniel Moi saw his chosen successor Uhuru Kenyatta defeated by Mwai Kibaki in what was seen as the freest elections in Kenya’s history. Fast forward, twenty years on, President Uhuru Kenyatta is backing his longtime political nemesis turned ally...

blog, General Blogs

By Nicodemus Minde Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta – whose final term in office ends after the 9 August polls – has been a key figure in east Africa. Over the last nine years, he has tried to create markets and address issues like peace, malaria and climate change. Within the East African Community, he signalled the end of an era on 21 July when he handed over the bloc’s leadership to his Burundian counterpart, Evariste Ndayishimiye.

Lessons Lessons!

Students' Analyses, Students' Tribune

By Umu Jalo These past few years have come with heavy lessons that life prior had not prepared us all for. Nobody alive now was there during the last global pandemic of the Spanish flu to prepare us now for the skill set that we required for buoyancy and resilience of having our lives turned upside down. The thing is, this has been a real test of survival, reinvention, risk taking, at least for me, in navigating this new world the best I know how, and here are the lessons I...

Tässä esimerkissä funktion tiheys suorittama laskutoimitus oli hyvin yksinkertainen. Tässä esimerkissä pyöristettiin siis kokonaislukuja haluttuun tarkkuuteen. Eli round-funktion toinen parametri ndigits tarkoittaa sekä positiivisten että negatiivisten lukujen kohdalla "pyöristä tarkkuuteen 10-ndigits". Mutta eiköhän nämä kaikki taas degeneroidu pois, kunhan ensimmäiset puuterit pääsee kokeilemaan. Kolmen tunnin päästä oltiinkin Pirkkalassa. Ongelma oli siinä, että että tuo kuva tuli bmp-muodossa ja piti muuttaa erinäisillä tempuilla jpg muotoon, jotta kuvanlisäyksen sain toimimaan.Niistä taas löytyy sen virallisen totuuden haastavia juttuja.Voisiko TIM selaimen asetusten mukaan määrittää tekstien kielet.
