White smoke

The Vatican fire brigade has put up the chimney stack, which will announce the election of the new Pope. The Cardinals will gather in the Sistine Chapel on May 7 to begin the conclave to select the next Pope. Twice a day, in the morning (except on May 7) and in the evening, smoke will emerge from the chimney - black if no Pope has been elected and white if at least 89 Cardinals have agreed on who will lead the Catholic Church.

The College of Cardinals announces that all 133 Cardinal electors participating in the upcoming conclave have the right to vote for the new Pope. vaticannews.va/en/vatican-cit…

The conclave to elect a new Pope will begin on May 7 according to the Holy See Press Office. The Cardinals present in Rome made the decision on Monday at their fifth General Congregation. The conclave will take place in the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel, which remain closed to visitors during those days.

#BreakingNews The High Court has suspended the implementation of the new university funding model until a case we filed is heard and determined. The case, filed on October 13, 2023, by KHRC, the Elimu Bora Working Group, Boaz Waruku, and the Students Caucus, argues that the funding model is discriminatory and locks thousands of students out of higher education. However, the case faced delays. Justice Chacha Mwita noted today that it was stalled because the Attorney-General, Education CS, and the Kenya Universities and College Placement Service failed to file their submissions on time. The case is coming up on December 16, 2024, to highlight submissions. Read more about the case here: khrc.or.ke/case/new-highe…

Gituku: You said you’ll never allow Raila into your government, now it appears he has quite a hand in it. Is that a deal breaker for you? DP Gachagua: I look at it differently. Only a fool doesn’t change his mind. What the President says is what carries the day #GachaguaSpeaks
