Are there people reaching out to UDF presidential candidate Musalia Mudavadi with the view to asking him to abandon his presidential bid in support of Jubilee's Uhuru Kenyatta? We are told that there have been talks between the two groups but no final decision has been reached. The questions some of the people on Mudavadi's campaign team are asking is what will happen to their man and themselves if he withdraws at this late stage?

Leading presidential candidates have been identifying people they hope to include in their cabinet if they win elections set for early next month. We are told that those involved have also drawn up a list of people they want appointed to various positions ranging from State House to various key parastatals and the Office of the President.

A former board member of the collapsed Trust Bank who lives in Dubai is on the spot. Sources at the Central Bank say investigators have zeroed in on the man, who is suspected to be taking over companies and assets such as land that were used as collateral before the bank went under. He is said to have been using local proxies in the latest move to reinvent himself.

The burial at Langata Cemetery of Jean Claude Mundeke alias General, a suspect in a gold scam last Thursday could easily have been mistaken for a state function. Police outriders escorted the hearse from the Umash Funeral Home to the cemetery. Mundeke was one of the three suspects charged with fraud for allegedly obtaining Sh115.8 million from Ulrich Annas Ngoyi Bongo under the pretext that they would sell him 400kg of gold. His accomplices, other con artists and a suspect wanted in the DRC freely mingled with CID officers and the senior government officials.
