Still on PNU, cracks have emerged between current MPs and former MPs in Nairobi over control of the party programmes in the city. Former MPs Maina Kamanda and Dick Wathika are said to have been edged out by Public Health minister Beth Mugo and Embakasi MP Ferdinand Waititu. Mugo and Waititu are said to have formed a lineup for 2012 — the two will go for senator and governor respectively. Kamanda and his team are accusing the two of locking them out of PNU prgrammes.
