The 'bad manners' of a vocal MP from Meru finally caught up with him when he was caught red-handed in one of the corridors at Parliament Buildings as he received wads of notes from a well known Rift Valley politician. The man has been 'harvesting' following the recent wars between PNU and other MPs allied against National Assembly Speaker Kenneth Marende. Caught by a colleague receiving the wads of notes,the shocked MP could only utter, “mimi nime maliziwa” (Today l am finished!) before staffing the notes in his pockets and scurrying away.

The wife of a prominent politician within the Grand Coalition government is writing her biography. But her husband is very mad at one of his aide who has been bragging that he is ghostwriting the book which is scheduled to be launched sometime soon before the next elections. While the politician has not come out in the open to reprimand the aide, he has reportedly become very cruel every time he comes into contact with the aide.

A local bank has black-listed some 15 members of Parliament for habitually issuing bouncing cheques, which is actually a criminal offence. The bank has decided to blacklist the MPs who have been issuing cheques to their creditors even when they knew they had insufficient funds in their accounts.

While many Kenyans heeded the call by civil society groups to stop work at 1 pm and sing all the three stanzas of the National Anthem in a symbolic gesture to the day President Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga signed the national accord that brought an end to the violence three years ago, some of the biggest beneficiries of the National accord did not bother to take note of the moment.But Co-operative Development minister Joe Nyaga rounded up the staff in his office and led them in singing the national anthem!
