A senior civil servant in the Ministry of Local government is understood have flown to London recently allegedly to conceal some substantial amount of cash in a foreign account. While it is not known how the man could have travelled out of the country and into the UK when international laws stipulates that one can only carry about US$10,000 in cash. Whatever the amount, the man is hoping to build a nest egg ahead of his bid for a political seat in next year's elections. Jersey or no Jersey, it seems some political wannabees are still hoping to 'invest' abroad.

Reports that a University of Nairobi student had been killed after she left a party hosted by an MP from central Kenya got the rumour mills going with talk— spread in part by a senior CID officer— but yet to be confirmed, that the man is known to set his bodyguards on anyone who crosses him.

There is obviously a big disconnect between what the public expect of the new Chief Justice and what his mandate is all about.

Some of them were overheard saying they will quit after their July salary as they do not expect things to change for the better despite the ongoing vetting of their senior officers.

A mayoral aspirant who was allegedly accused of 'taking' a cobbler's wife has opted out of the race. The cobbler accused the city father of luring away the woman who is a mother of six. The civic leader is afraid that if he persists in his mayoral ambitions, he might fail the integrity test which all elected officials have to undergo.
