Methods used to treat Breast cancer

 The Ministry of Health has provided a comprehensive overview of the various treatment options available for breast cancer, a condition marked by the abnormal growth of cells within breast tissue, which can lead to the formation of tumors. These treatment options are tailored to each patient's specific needs and often involve a multi-faceted approach to ensure the best possible outcome. Some of the primary treatment options include: Surgery: This is a common and often essential treatment for breast cancer, focusing on physically removing the cancerous tissue from the breast. Depending on the stage and spread of the cancer, surgery can range from a lumpectomy (removal of the tumor and surrounding tissue) to a mastectomy (removal of one or both breasts). The goal of surgery is to eliminate the cancerous cells, reduce the risk of cancer recurrence, and, in some cases, improve overall survival rates. Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy utilizes powerful drugs to target and destroy rapidly div...

Israel lauches air strike on Iran

 Israel launched multiple air strikes on Iran early Saturday, citing "months of continuous attacks" from Tehran and its allies. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed "precise strikes on military targets" in Iran, responding to what it described as Iran’s sustained aggression since October 7, 2023. This comes after reports of explosions in Tehran, following Iran's launch of nearly 200 ballistic missiles towards Israel on October 1, which it claimed was in retaliation for the July killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh on Iranian soil, an act Tehran attributed to Israel. Israeli military spokesperson Daniel Hagari said the operation in Iran was a necessary response, stating that Israel’s "defensive and offensive capabilities" were fully engaged. The United States, one of Israel's closest allies, supported Israel’s actions as self-defense against Iran’s missile attacks on October 1, though a US defense official clarified there was no US involvemen...

Rutos Legal team steps down

 President William Ruto's legal team has officially withdrawn from representing impeached Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua in his case. Lawyer Kamotho Njenga, speaking on behalf of the team, explained that the decision was based on a Supreme Court ruling, which states that the President cannot be subjected to civil proceedings. "We will no longer be representing the sixth respondent in this matter. We have filed a notice to cease action in line with the Supreme Court decision that the President cannot be part of civil proceedings," Njenga stated. "In light of this, we are unable to act against an explicit court order. We ask the court to recognize that the sixth respondent is now unrepresented." The notice to cease acting has been formally submitted, leaving President Ruto without legal representation in the ongoing proceedings. Earlier, Ruto’s legal team had raised objections to the High Court’s decision to hear the case concerning Gachagua’s impeachment.

High court has no capacity to determine Gachagua's impeachment

 President William Ruto has argued that the High Court lacks the authority to hear petitions challenging the impeachment of Rigathi Gachagua, asserting that only the Supreme Court has jurisdiction over such cases. This position was presented by Ruto’s lawyer, Adrian Kamotho, in response to a suit filed by David Mathenge and four others in Kerugoya. The case is set to be heard by a three-judge bench. Impeached Deputy President Gachagua is currently in court for the hearing, while President Ruto has been named the fifth respondent in the case. The court will also hear an application filed by Solicitor General Shadrack Mose, which seeks to lift a stay order that has temporarily halted the swearing-in of Gachagua’s nominated successor, Kithure Kindiki. The stay order, issued by a Kirinyaga court, has been challenged by the Solicitor General, who claims it goes against the public interest since the constitution does not allow for a vacancy in the office of the Deputy President. The appl...

God bless our Nation says Gachagua

In a brief statement on X, Gachagua prayed for God’s blessings upon Kenya, saying, "Happy Mashujaa Day dear Kenyans. God Bless our Nation."

The impeachment trial resumes Thursday with witness cross-examinations and re-examinations. Gachagua will also present his evidence and undergo cross-examination ahead of the vote.

 Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is in a bit of a pickle and needs at least 23 senators to keep his seat from slipping out from under him. After losing the first round of the impeachment battle in the National Assembly, where 281 members voted to send him packing, things aren’t looking too rosy. With 233 votes required to give him the boot, the anti-Gachagua crew had no trouble rounding up the numbers.
