Illness among our politicians is a closely guarded secret. So when a senior Cabinet minister collapsed, his handlers, aides and even his wife seem thunderstruck and did not know what to do. The wife became hysterical as the people around him looked on as they tried to figure out what to do. Only after some time did they spring into action—loading the semi conscious man into the car and dashing off to the Nairobi hospital where he was treated for a few days before being discharged.

The intense lobbying going on behind the scenes before the decision was taken to approve Keriako Tobiko as director of public prosecution saw some interesting exchanges. Two ODM Cabinet ministers threatened each other when one of them realised his colleague was opposed to Tobiko's appointment. What is not clear is why the two were at cross purposes even though our moles tell us that the political, ethnic and monetary considerations may have had something to do with it.

An MP from Rift Valley is wanted by police for gun running. The MP has reportedly been the source of guns for criminals operating in major towns. When three gangsters were arrested a few weeks ago they revealed to the police that they had got their guns from the MP. The MP is not known to have a home— rental or otherwise— here in the city and those who know him well say he seems to prefer spending his nights in meetings at various different venues.
