Kindiki also defended the government’s grassroots empowerment programs targeting youth, women, and small-scale traders, ...

  Promising HIV Vaccine Strategy Shows Success in Early Trials Involving Kenyan Researchers One of the major obstacles in developing an HIV vaccine has been designing a method to train the immune system to produce antibodies capable of targeting the virus's many rapidly evolving variants. HIV’s high mutation rate and ability to conceal key structures from immune detection have rendered traditional vaccine approaches largely ineffective. However, a new international study has demonstrated encouraging results using a novel, targeted vaccine strategy. Drawing on data from two separate phase 1 clinical trials, researchers showed that it’s possible to trigger the initial stages of an immune response crucial to combating HIV—and, in one of the trials, to advance that response even further. The trials, led by scientists from IAVI and Scripps Research, involved nearly 80 participants from North America and Africa, including Kenya. The findings, published in Science on May 15, 2025, off...

Kindiki urged Kenyans to reject leaders who promote such outdated tactics. “Political differences are normal, and everyone is entitled to their opinion.
