A senior Cabinet minister has reportedly lost Sh1 million to some conmen who promised to give him five times the amount. The conmen claimed they could print him Sh5m if he made a one off payment of Sh1 million. A month later the minister is still waiting for the loot and is too embarrassed to report to the police that he is a victim of the 'wash wash scam' or the black money scam!

It seems the season of counterfeit cash is with us as unsuspecting wananchi in Kigumo found to their detriment last Monday. The 'fake' cash was distributed to some of the people while a stash of Sh40,000 fake notes were found inside a hundreds of envelopes allegedly from the Ministry of Nairobi Metropolitan headed by ex MP Jamleck Kamau. Police are investigating to establish those behind the 'printing' of the cash and envelopes as they are not the official government issue envelopes used by the ministry.

A boisterous prison warden who has been at Kamiti Maximum Security Prison has defied a recent prison headquarters order to relocate to Machakos prison. The warden who has several times been implicated in the smuggling of contraband goods into the Kamiti prison was among 3,000 prison officers transferred countrywide. He has however continued to defy the transfer order due to the intervention of his 'godfather' who is a senior official in the Ministry of Home Affairs. His colleagues who have taken up their new stations are now speculating that the man is serving the interests of other higher ups if even the prisons hierarchy are not able to discipline him.

Despite all the public awareness campaigns urging politicians and particularly candidates against vote buying and bribery, one of the Nyeri senate candidate was recently found bribing a group of youth with Sh500 bob so that they vote for him. This was not the first time as similar complaints have been forwarded to the IEBC about the candidate's unethical behavior but no action seems to have been taken. His rivals have now opted to urge the electorate to 'eat' the man's money but to ensure they did not vote for him.
