The Secretary of Defense may also use the title of Secretary of War under the order, the White House confirmed. “I think it’s a much more appropriate name, especially in light of where the world is right now. We have the strongest military in the world. We have the…
After the Trump administration previously said it would seek to remove Kilmar Abrego Garcia back to El Salvador if a judge granted his attorneys’ request to reopen his immigration case, the government said on Friday it now plans to deport him to Eswatini, Africa. The update came in an email from an official with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to Abrego Garcia’s attorneys, saying that his claim of fear of persecution in Uganda is “hard to take seriously” because he also claimed fear of persecution or torture in at least 22 other countries. The countries listed in the email include…

Basic Education PS Julius Bitok however said only 3.000 out of 32,000 schools (98 percent of public institutions) whose data has been received at the Ministry headquarters have received Third Term capitation after their data was certified as genuine.

Former US President Joe Biden recently underwent skin cancer surgery, his spokeswoman said. Biden had Mohs surgery, she told the BBC’s US partner CBS News, but did not immediately provide further details. The procedure is used to cut away skin until no evidence of cancer remains. The 82-year-old had been spotted with a wound on the right side of his head in recent days. In 2023, Biden had a cancerous skin lesion removed from his chest during a routine health screening. In May, he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones. “Cancer…
Tesla boss Elon Musk will receive a pay package worth over $1tn (£740bn) if he hits a list of ambitious targets over the next decade, the board of the electric car firm has proposed. To get the package, Musk, who is already the world’s richest person, would need to boost Tesla’s value eightfold, sell a million artificial intelligence robots, sell another 12 million Tesla cars, and hit several other moonshot goals. Musk would not earn a salary or bonus but would instead be gradually awarded shares which would be worth $1tn if he achieves all the targets. The company’s board…
The US jobs market weakened further in August, raising new fears about the health of the world’s largest economy. Employers added just 22,000 jobs last month, fewer than expected, while the unemployment rate ticked up from 4.2% to 4.3%, according to the Labor Department. The figures cap a string of shaky data this week on the job market and add to the concerns that spiked last month, when the Labor Department said hiring in May and June had been far weaker than it had initially estimated. On Friday, the department said its latest estimates showed the US actually lost jobs…
The Anti-Terrorism Court in Kahawa Friday released Manyatta Member of Parliament Gitonga Mukunji, a journalist, and a boda boda rider from terror charges. This is after dismissing an application by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) seeking to extend their detention. This was a victory for the MP and the other accused persons. Senior Principal Magistrate Richard Koech ruled that the prosecution, through the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), had failed to make its case. The court noted that although the DCI initially filed a miscellaneous application to detain the three for 14 days from July 25,…

She “passed away peacefully last night at Kensington Palace, surrounded by her family”, a statement said on Friday, with flags on royal residences, including Buckingham Palace, now lowered to half mast.

The Duchess of Kent, who has died at the age of 92, carried out her royal duties with the minimum of fuss. She was best known to most of the public as the elegant woman who presented the trophies at Wimbledon each year, once famously having to comfort a distraught losing finalist. She became the first member of the Royal Family to convert to Catholicism since the Act of Settlement in 1701 – but that was not, perhaps, her most surprising decision. Recognising that her twin passions were music and children, she quietly withdrew from royal life and took a…
Thailand’s parliament has chosen business tycoon Anutin Charnvirakul as the country’s prime minister – the third in two years, after yet another leader was removed from office. Paetongtarn Shinawatra, who belongs to Thailand’s most powerful political dynasty, was removed by the constitutional court last week for ethical violations over her handling of the border dispute with Cambodia. Anutin’s Bhumjaithai party broke from the coalition led by the Shinawatras’ Pheu Thai, and secured enough support in parliament to win the premiership. But the uncertainty may not be over for Thailand which has seen multiple administrations deposed by court interventions and military…
