An employee of an international organisation was shocked recently when he was invited by his boss to ‘just see’ a friend who lives in the Lavington area. The junior was not surprised when they drove to a palatial residence and were subjected to intense scrutiny and interrogation by the uniformed askaris before being allowed to drive in. He was not even surprised when he saw that among the guests at the ‘party’ were a powerful cabinet minister, a former MP from the Rift Valley and a prominent businessman. What surprised him was that the guests, who were lounging by the pool-side, were naked and were being attended to by a bevy of nubile girls in their 20s.

A decision by President Kibaki to invite KFF chair Sam Nyamweya to help him conduct a harambee in Kisii recently has led to murmurs among the political class in the region. Kibaki, while presiding over a harambee for Nyanchwa SDA church, invited the KFF chair, which has been interpreted by Nyamweya’s associates as amounting to an endorsement. They were overheard bragging at a Kisii hotel that the President’s action was a nod for Nyamweya’s candidacy in the forthcoming football elections and any political office he may seek in the region.

Tinderet MP Henry Kosgey has signalled that he was not ready to relinquish his office as the ODM party chairman even after declaring his intention to close ranks with rebel deputy party leader William Ruto. Party chiefs have reportedly been grappling with the problem of how to ease Kosgey out of his party post without drawing the ire of party supporters. Those concerned about the long term impact are suggesting that the party hierarchy negotiate with Kosgey and persuade him to resign while extremists want Kosgey dropped and replaced immediately.

Over 400 police investigators at the Kiambu based Mazingira Road are quietly refusing to move after they were transferred to new stations. Our mole tells us that the sleuths are trying to negotiate their way and remain at the CID headquarters where they have relatively comfortable working conditions. They seem to forget their oath of office which they vowed to serve in any part of the country.
