Share/Save/Bookmark An ODM Cabinet minister reportedly travelled to India with several procurement officers and two suppliers to his ministry to buy goods for government use. On his return from the trip, the minister was spotted in Karen looking at some of the houses which are on sale. The two suppliers are now telling everybody that the minister is not "cheap".

Government Spokesman Dr Alfred Mutua and a senior protocol officer at State House must really have had something very important to discuss. The two separately drove to Crowne Plaza Hotel in Nairobi and entered the lobby where they had an intense conversation lasting for 25 minutes before each of them left in their separate cars. Their bodyguards were standing outside as their bosses stood talking inside.

The driver of a senior investigating officer at KRA and an IT officer have got into the habit of threatening and extorting money from businessmen and women. They confront their victims and threaten to report them for unspecified offences and then demand money for a cover-up.
