Political activist and media personality Tony Gachoka has clarified he is still with the Hon Eugene Wamalwa campaigning for him to be the next President. The statement follows an item in this column yesterday suggesting Gachoka had parted ways with the MP for Saboti. "I wish to clarify that I empathise with my Brother Uhuru Kenyatta and will join millions of Kenyans to pray for him to overcome his current tribulations. However, Eugene and I have continued to work closely together and any report to the contrary is politically motivated and mere misinformation. Should Eugene or I wish to make different political manoeuvres in future, we shall do so in the proper way,” Gachoka said in a note to the Star.

Some people named in Waki Report on the 2007-08 post-election violence are having sleepless nights. Corridors has learnt that one individual has not left his house since the ICC judges issued summonses against the Ocampo six on Tuesday evening.

 Journalists began exchanging a flurry of messages immediately the ICC issued the summonses against the Ocampo Six. One message read: “For several months now some journalists presented themselves as self-styled hatchet men and experts on ICC, offering phantom advice and advancing sloppy theories. They even accused Ocampo of committing errors which they predicated could weaken the case. Teaming up with like-minded jua kali lawyers, they predicted the judges would not confirm the charges.”
