The pursuit of a traffic policewoman by one of their own is expected  to be a subject of discussion when the Brand Kenya board holds its next meeting. Some of the members told the Star that they wanted to raise the matter as they believed their colleagues behaviour— of pursuing the policewoman to Parklands and unsuccessfully entreating her to surrender he cell phone number— would bring the board's name into disrepute.

One of the parliamentary aspirants in Kamukunji's by election which was won by Yusuf Hassan of PNU is a depressed man. The politician reportedly fainted after the results indicated he had lost the seat to Hassan. Since the Thursday's by election, the man has remained indoors and is refusing to receive any of his friends or campaign officials. The worst is that one of his chief campaigners who is a relative fell sick when the results were announced and is still receiving treatment.

Flamboyant city MP Mike Mbuvi alias Sonko seems not to understand that there is a time and a place for some of his antics. The MP was thoroughly told off in public by Cabinet minister Beth Mugo when they met at a church fund raising in Makadara. He took to the podium to tell the congregation that single women and divorcees engaged in politics were the cause of the many troubles the country was facing. Sonko claimed they were the reason why he was being hounded out of Narc Kenya which is headed by Gichugu MP Martha Karua. Sonko opined that women who did not have successful family lives cannot expect to get the necessary respect needed in politics. But Mugo as not going to let Sonko get away without a piece of her mind.  “With or without husbands, women can be good leaders just like men. You cannot put different standards for women when it comes to leadership!” Mugo said.
