MP Peter Salasya from Mumias East has started a national tour after announcing his run for president in the 2027 elections. He plans to create a new political group that breaks from old tribal politics based on money. The young lawmaker kicked off his tour in Busia County on Thursday.
Salasya said his tour marks an important step in his plan to connect with voters across Kenya. He aims to bring together young people with his ideas about new leadership that can change the country. His message focuses on making the economy better for all Kenyans, especially the youth. He believes his fresh approach will help him stand out from other politicians. Salasya wants to build support from regular people rather than rely on wealthy backers.

Dr Rudo Gumbo, who spoke at the Bulawayo trade fair, said Zimbabwe air rescue teams will soon work at Victoria Falls. Later, more bases will open in Masvingo, Mutare, Kariba, and Buffalo Range. A call center will help people access this life-saving service faster.
The government started Helidrive to solve medical transport problems across the country. The first base opened in Harare last July, with Bulawayo following in December. These teams have already helped 450 patients, among them 150 babies less than a month old.
The program began after Zimbabwe received 18 helicopters from Rostec in 2023.
Zimbabwe faces political unrest as more people stand against President Mnangagwa. Critics say he lacks true power since taking over in 2017. The fight comes from opposition groups, regular citizens, and even members of his party, ZANU PF.
Political expert Blessed Geza calls this a long battle meant to weaken the president. Civil groups and democracy supporters want more honest elections and better government. The main opposition party, Citizens Coalition for Change, says the military has too much control, and human rights suffer under Mnangagwa.
Talk suggests ZANU PF has internal problems too. Some party leaders disagree with the president about who should take over next and how to fix the economy. Money troubles - high prices...

Samsung lags behind rivals in making newer memory chips for AI machines this year. Most news about High-Bandwidth Memory has focused on SK Hynix and Micron products instead of Samsung. Financial reports show Samsung engineers still work on improved HBM3E chips, as competitors already display next-generation HBM4 memory. The company plans to sell more enhanced HBM3E 12H products soon, but has lost ground to other makers in the AI chip market.
According to industry experts, Samsung wants to win back customers after 2025. Memory department VP Kim Jae-joon told analysts the company works with many clients on special versions of both HBM4 and HBM4E. If factories begin making these chips later this year, these chips should start shipping to...

AMD showed off its Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12 GB card this week. Many thought this RDNA 4 card would arrive later, but it launches May 8 as a China market exclusive. VideoCardz found evidence that companies like PowerColor already have Red Devil and Reaper models ready for stores. Pre-orders started with cards coming from ASUS, PowerColor, Sapphire, and Yeston.
ASUS surprised everyone by skipping their usual PRIME and TUF Gaming designs and creating just one model: the ATS Megalodon. This card costs 4199 RMB, matching AMD's suggested price. The Megalodon uses a triple-fan cooling setup that takes up 2.5 slots inside a computer case. ASUS talks up its special phase-change thermal pads that help cool the graphics chip.

Intel CCO Christoph Schell will leave on June 30 after two hard years with the company. He will leave for a better job as CEO at Kuka Group, a robotics leader that makes machines, cells, digital services, and software. Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan thanked him for building a strong sales team during tough times. His exit comes as Intel keeps losing money and cutting costs everywhere.
Schell came from Hewlett-Packard just before Intel started struggling more. Last quarter showed an $800 million loss against $12.7 billion in revenue. He stayed through leadership changes after joining under former CEO Pat Gelsinger, who quit last December. Greg Ernst from America sales will take over the sales group for a short time until they find someone permanent.
