Did MPs Boni Khalwale and Chris Okemo bite off more than they could chew when they came to the rescue of the CBK Governor during the depreciation of the shilling debate? Two MPs from Western Kenya think so. They were overheard discussing the matter in Parliament on Friday arguing the debate was going on well against the Governor until the two took to the floor. Now they have vowed to expose the two for their unpredictable behaviour, which includes the recent decision to ditch Eugene Wamalwa for Musalia Mudavadi. The two MPs have vowed to expose the two at the right time and ensure they don't make a comeback.

A national school in Nairobi is charging Sh50,000 to admit 'vulnerable' students into form one. Corridors has learnt that the principal, bursar and a few board members have a whole class of 50 to themselves, to which they admit students not subject to the official channels. Each parent who approaches the group pays the bursar and his or her son is referred to this class. The matter has come to the attention of a board member who is planning a putsch against the principal and his colleagues. The problem is that those paying are not exactly vulnerable.

Two weeks ago we told you of a cartel in the judiciary known as the 'Karen Six', who are making who are manipulating systems in the judiciary. We have since established that this group of individuals known for their carefree lifestyles has earmarked one of their own to run the judiciary in the near future.
