Justice minister Eugene Wamalwa double-minded approach on Luhya presidency bid is raising concern. Corridors has learnt that Wamalwa, who was days ago an ardent champion for Luhya unity, last evening declined to sign a unity pact that had been crafted by technical committees that burnt the midnight oil to beat the alliances deadline. We are now told that the minister was last evening plotting to go it alone in the race to State House. As they say, 24 hours can indeed be very long in Kenyan politics.

Still on the elusive Luhya Unity politics, Corridors has learnt of a strategy by the Prime Minister Raila Odinga's ODM and Uhuru Kenyatta–William Ruto to split the community's vote in the general election. Some leaders from Western region were yesterday overheard claiming the unity talks are shrouded with back-stabbing and ill-will. To paraphase the former late Vice-President Michael Wamalwa Kijana, the leaders have dangerous cards under the table waiting to unleash on the other.

Two top officials of Parliament promoted their mpango wa kandos despite failing their interviews for promotion. We are informed that the officials threw caution to the wind and promoted the staffers despite claims of favouritism from their colleagues. One of the favoured staffer is said to have dismissed the interviewing panel. But unknown to the colleagues, the staffer had already earned the promotion, courtesy of another more rigorous interviews!
