The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission was a few years ago, as the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission, considered a very good employer because of its fat salaries and perks. But after the departure by some of its top employees, wags are asking whether the EACC is still a worthwhile employer. A senior officer has left after being appointed deputy director at the independent witness protection agency. The principal investigator is headed for the agency where officials are putting up structures to speed up its operations.

An MP from Central has caused panic at the Lands ministry after applying for the search of a Nairobi upmarket plot which was reportedly irregularly allocated to a senior figure in Parliament. The search prompted a Lands Ministry top official to instruct his juniors to give minimum information to the MP as it might incriminate him for signing the allotment letter. The MP is aware of the shenanigans and is pushing to get the full information which he intends to table in Parliament.

A minister is so sure he will not complete his term in Cabinet that he has already started disengaging himself from the trappings of his big office. The minister has had his name tag removed from the door of his office and has already removed family portraits and personal knickknacks that dot the offices of his colleagues. The man seems reconciled to the fact that the axe may fall on him any time now and he is ready to walk out of the office without looking back. He was overheard quipping that he had realised — a bit late in the day — that he is no longer employable.

Just how many people know that California Estate — nestled between Majengo, Pumwani and Eastleigh — was once home to President Paul Kagame of Rwanda? Then he was not President but a lowly refugee who had found sanctuary in Kenya before he went on to Uganda and from there to becoming the big shot he is today. Other luminaries who call California home are Nairobi Town Clerk Philip Kisia who grew up in the estate. Since the residents cannot prevail on Kagame — who has mobilised his country to clean up filth in their towns and cities — to return and do the same here, Calif residents too familiar with broken sewers, garbage heaps, bad roads and water leaks, are counting on Kisia, who wants to become the city's first governor, to rudisha mkono by addressing some of these problems!
