BRING BACK MY SUN

 It's cold out and my coffee has gone cold. The weighted blankets don't do much for me anymore.

The turntable is screeching and its all white outside

My chest is hollow and my space is much too large for just me

Where is my sun, where did she go?

The dark is here ,he'll swallow me whole

His rage magnifies at this time

And it's inescapable even to the strongest

When she screams they don't go beyond these four walls

Her throat is raspy and its dusk everywhere

Bring me my sun, I have to live

Love Beyond Reasonable Doubt

I told her I’d teach her about Jurisdiction, Only if we could change the venue to my place  That the prosecution,  Can rest her case at my place Where I would make an order of specific performance, Of a contract for service Then make her take a look at my brief While practising some lateral equality Because what better alibi could she have Than spending the night with me?  She became fully vested, Hoping that I did not object to her leading question- Of adjourning to the bedroom Hoping to be a very vocal advocate if  I gave her my instructions well Her body was “ultra vires”, thicker than my Con Law textbook,  It was beyond my power to control myself around her And I would be held liable for negligence- If I neglected to scooch closer to her  They call me learned hand for a reason- I sued the dress off her  Made her call me Equity Cause I made her come with clean hands  I showed her my opening statement; It was up to her to close  And I gave her so much due process  That standing up wa

‘STOP KILLING US!’ THE PLIGHT BY KENYAN WOMEN AGAINST THE RISING CASES OF FEMICIDE

Image
                                                      Image on Freepik On Saturday, 27 th January 2024, thousands of women marched in the capital to protest against the alarming rise of violence against women after a series of women’s murders rocked the country. This marked the first and the largest anti-femicide demonstration in the country that saw women and feminists take to the streets to march against the rising cases of femicide. Femicide is one of the most extreme forms of gender-based violence in Kenya. It is defined as the intentional killing of women and girls just by their nature of being women. It lays its distinction from other forms of murder or harm by the specific target it has on women just because of their gender. The major causes of this enigma are firmly established in societal norms and the way of life. These include; the lower position women are placed in by society, discrimination, gender imbalance in social roles, unequal distribution of power and resources

THE TRENDS OF AI POLICY AND REGULATIONS IN AFRICA

Image
 Image powered by Microsoft Bing The advancement of artificial intelligence (herein referred as AI) in Africa is poised to shape the continent’s future. More than ten (10) states have positively embraced this transformative technology to enhance efficiency and accessibility of government services. In Tanzania, farmers are now using an AI assisted app called Nuru to detect crop diseases while in South Africa computer scientists have built AI models to analyze the impact of racial segregation [1] . In the bustling city of Nairobi, Kenya we have surveillance cameras perched on lampposts which use AI to classify images [2] . Following this rapid evolution of AI, there are challenges that have necessitated comprehensive governing frameworks. Many governments have resolved to policymaking and building strategies to regulate AI within their jurisdictions. [3]   The African Union (AU) has proposed a draft AI policy aimed at establishing a cohesive regulatory environment across its 55 membe
