OPINION: I deliberately avoided wading into the unfortunate circumstances around the passing of Jason Ardey because of the many grey areas surrounding it. Prof Ardey, who became Cambridge’s youngest black professor, came under intense scrutiny over allegations concerning his academic work, qualifications and background. Cambridge subsequently opened an investigation into the circumstances surrounding his appointment and time at the institution. He died last month shortly after resigning from his Cambridge fellowship.

A three-judge High Court bench has declined to disqualify itself for a second time from hearing a case challenging the appointment and installation of Kithure Kindiki as Deputy President following the impeachment of Rigathi Gachagua.

Justices Eric Ogola, Antony Mrima and Freda Mugambi ruled that petitioner Joseph Enock Aura had failed to establish circumstances showing a real possibility that they were biased against him if they were to hear and determine the case.

South Sudan President Salva Kiir on Tuesday dissolved the government and appointed a caretaker administration ahead of the country's first elections, a move analysts said gave him unbridled power.

The world's youngest nation achieved independence in 2011 but soon after plunged into a five-year civil war and figures among the poorest and most corrupt countries.

OPINION:The Competency-Based Education (CBE) model was introduced as a bold vision to transform learning from rote memorisation into real-world skill development.

Yet, since its inception, the implementation of CBE has stumbled from one self-inflicted crisis to another. What was designed to liberate the potential of Kenyan children is instead trapped in administrative inefficiency, chronic underfunding, and systemic neglect.
