UDA MP set to table bill seeking to increase counties from 47 to 52;
Bill to increase counties tabled in Parliament
Kuria MP Marwa Kitayama is set to table a bill that seeks to increase the number of counties from the current 47 to 52.

In Summary
Article 188 of the Constitution provides the procedure for altering boundaries.
Kuria East MP Marwa Kitayama wants the number of counties to be increased to 52 from the current 47.
Kenya may go into the next general election with 52 counties, if a proposal by a United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Member of Parliament sees the light of day.

Kuria East MP Marwa Kitayama is set to table a bill that seeks to amend the Constitution, by increasing the number of counties to 52 from the current 47.

The Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2022 proposes the constitution to be amended by an Act of Parliament to introduce 5 additional counties i.e. Kuria, Teso, Mount Elgon, East Pokot and Mwingi.

"Within six months of the commencement of this Act, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) shall delimit the boundaries of— a) Kuria County from the existing Migori County; b) Teso County from the existing Busia County; c) Mount Elgon County from the existing Bungoma and Trans Nzoia Counties; d) East Pokot from the existing Baringo County; and, e) Mwingi County from the existing Kitui County." the Bill reads in part.

Although Kitayama has already written a notice to National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula over the same, he's yet to formally table the Bill, because the Standing Orders of Parliament require a member to consult widely before finalising a Bill to amend the Constitution.

Kitayama argues that adding this counties will ensure that services are brought closer to the people of the proposed counties, something that is a problem because of the 47 counties as currently constituted.

What the law says
Article 188 of the Constitution provides the procedure for altering boundaries. It says that the boundaries of a county may be altered only by a resolution recommended by an independent commission set up for that purpose by Parliament.

Boundaries of a county can also be altered if a motion over the same receives the support of at least two-thirds of all of the members of the National Assembly; and a similar threshold at the Senate.

The boundaries of a county may be altered to take into account-

population density and demographic trends;
physical and human infrastructure;
historical and cultural ties;
the cost of administration;
the views of the communities affected;
the objects of devolution of government; and
geographical features.

Viral Alert: This Is Why KDJ O37G Is Currently Trending On Twitter
Philip is a man of interest. Yesterday, as if to chide his followers, Philip posted a diagram of a car illustration with the number plate 'KDJ 037G'.
In the caption, he wrote, "If your phone can't copypaste this vehicle just know it's fake".

The car number plate KDJ 037G is currently the number one Trending Topic on Kenyan Twitter and whilst it may sound ominous, it's actually a very innocent number plate whose currency has been pushed by popular Twitter user Alinur Mohammed.
But before Alinur jumped into the ring, there was a strangely-English sounding fellow named Philip Mcloude who began the whole mess.

According to his Twitter bio, Philip Mcloude is a Thika-based 'TV host, MC, Event planner, Environmentalist and Talent Manager'.

Now, back to why Philip is a man of interest. Yesterday, as if to chide his followers, Philip posted a diagram of a car illustration with the number plate 'KDJ 037G'.

In the caption, he wrote, "If your phone can't copypaste this vehicle just know it's fake".

Now, 24 hours later, over 1,000 people have left comments under the tweet, with the content of the comments being a copy and paste of the same diagram Philip had tweeted out earlier.

But there's a little problem... The copypaste version of Philip's car diagram seems a little different from the original version and that's where Philip is getting the kicks - by typing 'fake' under every comment.

Back to Alinur Mohammed.

The showy Twitter figure, who also is a city politician with ostensibly deep pockets, also decided to jump into the fray and tweet out his version of the car diagram as if to console himself of the originality of his (I suspect) iPhone.

He tweeted, "I had to do it to confirm this phone that I bought with my own money is original."

Again, the 'KDJ 037G' comments were resurrected with thousands of Twitter users attempting to replicate the same diagram in a futile attempt to confirm their phone's authenticity.

Now, the innocuous number plate is the number one trending topic on Twitter. I can't imagine the horror the actual owner of a real KDJ 037G is going through.

All in all, it's a silly copypasting game that is, thankfully, keeping Kenyans on Twitter busy.

Radiographers marking world Radiography Day in Mombasa.
What you need to know about Radiography.
Professor Wilhem K Roentgen a German physicist while working in his science laboratory with the cathode ray tube on 8th November 1895 Saturday evening that marked a significant discovery. The cathode ray tube which had been evacuated had positive and negative electrodes encapsulated in it. When the scientist tried to apply high voltages between the electrodes the tube produced a fluorescent glow. Roentgen went further and covered the tube with a heavy black paper. Upon application of the high voltage again, he noticed some glow on the photographic material a few feet away. This phenomenon amused the professor who concluded that a new kind of ray was being emitted from the tube. He decided to call it "A NEW KIND OF RAY." Later scientists started the use of the phrase X-ray which was then adopted and used up to date.

‘Stop using saliva during sex’, experts warn

The use of saliva as some form of lubrication during sexual in*******se is something that is common, however, experts have warned that this might not be as fun as it may seem for couples because it could lead to contracting diseases.

Health experts say that there is an increase in diseases caused by fungal and bacterial infections in the female reproductive tract and the main source is said to be saliva.

Many couples admit to have at one point used saliva during lo******ng after they get dry or even prior.

Evidence shows that they use saliva as a lubricant during in*******se and as result it leads to infections that cause them to discharge dirt and bad smell from the va**na.

According to Muhimbili Hospital’s Dr. Nathanael Mtinangi the act of using saliva during sexual in*******se is not advised and scientifically unacceptable.

He says that the human mouth is made up of hundreds of bacteria 'oral micro flora' which are friendly to oral health, however they are harmful when get into contact with the va**na.

And likewise in the reproductive system of a woman there is a type of bacteria 'lactobuciluss' as well as 'candida albicans' which is friendly to the reproductive system of a woman, but science says that these are harmful if they go into the mouth.

Gynecologists have confirmed that diseases caused by fungi and bacteria in women have been on the increase, despite the fact that they have existed for a long time.
