Concerned about his security despite being provided with additional police officers, one of the presidential candidates has acquired a white Toyota Land cruiser which he has fitted with an electric alarm system which zap a anyone who dares as much as touchtone car. The candidate’s security men are happy with the new system as they no longer have to push away overenthusiastic supporters who tend the throng the candidate wherever he goes. Now all they have to do is activate the alarm if they sense any danger to the candidate the hapless 'supporter' gets painfully zapped if they touch the vehicle!

It seems President Kibaki's visit to Othaya and failure to endorse Othaya Development Association chairman Gichuki Mugambi as his successor in Othaya was not well received by some moneyed and influential people in government and business. The individuals who had gone to the extent of circumventing protocol to ensure that Mugambi was seated next to the president were disappointed when the President categorically stated he did not support any of those in the race who include businesswoman Mary Wambui. It was however not lost to political pundits that the proximity of Mugambi to the president maybe construed as a subtle nod to his candidacy!

The Jubilee Alliance leadership who pride themselves on being 'digi-smart' made good use of their iPads when they were reading their speeches during the launch of their manifesto a fortnight ago. Only William Ruto opted not to use the prepare speech and ad-libbed his speech while Uhuru Kenyatta, Charity Ngilu and Najib Balala strictly followed the speeches they had prepared on their IPads.Now some of those critical of Ruto are saying he missed an opportunity to prove he is 'digital' and not 'analogue' as he has been claiming on the campign trail.

It was a riches to rags story for one of the aspirants who lost in the Eldoret URP nominations. The man spent his savingsand mortgaged what he had to mount a nomination campaign allegedly under the misplaced belief that he would get further financial assistance from retired President Moi. Well, he failed the nominations and can now be seen seated on a rock chewing sugarcane at the Chepkoilel junction. Strange enough, some of the local people still have hopes that the man will somehow recover and become a mheshimiwa' and they keep pestering him for cash handouts.
