Deepfake technology has been employed in Kenya's politics to disseminate misinformation. Politicians, acti...

By EoK Team  Washington, D.C. – In a bold challenge to President Donald Trump's recent assertions about seeking a third term, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi and Senator Elizabeth Warren have voiced strong opposition, accusing the President of undermining the Constitution and neglecting the needs of American families. President Trump, who was inaugurated for a second, non-consecutive term on January 20, 2025, has sparked controversy by suggesting he may pursue a third term, despite the 22nd Amendment's clear two-term limit.  Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) responded emphatically, stating; "The president is not a king.

Donald Trump would rather fantasize about a fictional third term than do anything to lower costs for working families." Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi echoed these sentiments, criticizing the administration's economic policies:  "Donald T...

By EOK News Team Kenyans were caught off guard on Tuesday morning after the government announced a brand-new public holiday to be observed on April 31st each year.

By Franklin Mrata - Student, KCAU  Photo: President William Ruto addressing the nation  On March 20, 2025, President William Ruto announced new changes in his cabinet, hinting at further adjustments in due time. This marks his third cabinet reshuffle since he was sworn in on September 13, 2022. With most of these changes tied to new political alliances, one is pressed to wonder,  What exactly is His Excellency seeking? Be it new faces in the team, familiar ones, or old faces in different roles, the Frenchman Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr said it best: The more things change, the more they stay the same.
