An MP from the Rift Valley has found himself on a slippery slope after he made a young woman pregnant. The woman has been demanding an exorbitant sum — we are told more than Sh500,000 a month — from the MP and whenever he hesitates, she threatens to make it public. The man is already paying for her house in one of the leafy suburbs and has come to the end of his tether. He has now given strict instructions to his aides to ensure that they give her anything she wants.

"Send a thief to catch a thief" is a popular saying. Our moles tell us that anti-tobacco campaigners are concerned that the person expected to lead the government's anti-tobacco crusade is a smoker — they actually describe him as a chain smoker. While smoking is not illegal — yet — the anti-tobacco crowd wants to see a non-smoker leading the fight. They believe the adage "Do-as-l-say-and-not-as-l do" is not going to work in the fight to control/reduce consumption of tobacco products.

Senior managers of a company associated with a senior politician are concerned that his continued dipping into the company coffers to fund his campaigns might lead to its collapse. One of the managers, unwilling to be caught off guard in the anticipated collapse, has already registered a parallel company as he prepares to jump ship in case the company goes under.
