Thursday, July 23, 2020
The President of the Supreme Court and Chief Justice of Kenya, Hon David Maraga revealed that the Judiciary is in the process of building a data center, that will be a hub of all justice institutions like the Police, Prisons, DPP, DCI among others.

The technology can help prevent accidents such as the 2011 Sinai slum oil pipeline tragedy.
In Summary
• The team tested an aluminium bar with an induced defect and, using the technology, achieved the highest reported resolution worldwide.
• It involves the use of a specially amplified ultrasound wave, which can detect even small defects at a length of ten metres. 

Kenyan and Indian researchers have jointly developed one of the world’s most sensitive technologies to detect flaws in buildings, pipelines and railway tracks among other structures.

The entire University of Nairobi community (staff, students and alumni) held a VIRTUAL UNIVERSITY DAY OF PRAYER, a day set aside for giving thanks to God and seeking for His continued blessings and protection to the University community.

Why UoN will not reopen soon

The University of Nairobi is unlikely to reopen in September as earlier planned after 14 members of staff tested positive for Covid-19.
"Nairobi is the most affected part of the country and the university sits right at the centre of the city. It will not be prudent to reopen,"  Vice-Chancellor Stephen Kiama said on Wednesday.
There has been a surge in the number of Covid-19 cases recorded in Nairobi each day.
