Today, WePlanet Africa hosted Kenya's Nuclear Energy Conversation at Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University of Science and Technology (JOOUST), bringing together students from JOOUST and Bondo TTI for an engaging discussion on Kenya's nuclear energy future.
We are grateful to the Deputy Vice Chancellor, Academic Affairs, Prof. Elijah Omwenga, for officially opening the event and emphasizing the importance of informed dialogue, research, and public participation as Kenya explores nuclear energy.
@WePlanetAfrica's Peter Gichuki , @kenyan_ygn's Linnet Nyamweya, @eaarp_official's Robert Kiptoo, @Jooustonline's Jack Abibo and @KenyaNuclearSoc's founding president Dr. David Otwoma shared insights on nuclear technology, Safety, careers, environmental protection, and Kenya's journey toward clean, reliable energy.
The highlight of the day was the interactive Q&A session, where students asked questions about safety, radiation, why Siaya was selected as a proposed site, community involvement, and the opportunities nuclear energy presents for Kenya's future. The level of engagement reaffirmed the need for continued public conversations grounded in science and evidence.
The conversation doesn't end here. Tomorrow, we're taking it to the people.
Join us as our Nuclear Energy Roadshow travels across Ndori, Luanda Kotieno, Bark Owino, Nango, Bondo, and Usenge, engaging communities and sharing factual information about the role nuclear energy can play in powering Kenya's future.
If you see us on the road, stop by, ask questions, and be part of the conversation.
NATAKA NUCLEAR.

@stimasacco rectify your systems. Here is your message . Dear RUTH, Your loan of KES.17.00 is in arrears. Please pay to avoid attachment to guarantors. This is the 1st notice. For queries call 0703024000.
What’s happening with @stimasacco systems. First of all, in January, I’m erroneously deducted Ksh 34,000, from a loan completed in December, this morning, 15/02/2023, 05:05am, I receive a warning message to pay Ksh 17. At 8am all my previous loan guarantors are alerted.
It’s three weeks @stimasacco has not refunded the Ksh 34,000. To add salt to injury, I have to explain to my guarantors why they are being attached to pay a back Ksh. 17 that does not exist. What’s not happening?
BREAKING NEWS: This is an announcement that has been decades in the making.
On December 5, 2022 a team from DOE's @Livermore_Lab made history by achieving fusion ignition.
This breakthrough will change the future of clean power and America’s national defense forever.
