The wife of one of the eight presidential candidates is facing a law suit after she failed to pay for a campaign song she commissioned last year. The woman had asked a group of artistes to put together a song in praise of her and her husband. The song was written and delivered to her but since then the woman who would be first lady has gone mute. The artistes are planning to sue her for breach of contract.

A lawyer earmarked to be the running mate of a leading Nairobi governor candidate is angry and feels cheated after he was abandoned without so much as an explanation. The lawyer has given his friend free services in many legal matters and believed the reward was on the way when his pal announced publicly he was his running mate. The angry lawyer has since withdrawn from matters pending before the court on behalf of his friend. He will only make an appearance upon payment of the full amount.

A top Nairobi politician on Monday told off some of his supporters when they openly said they won't vote for him. The man, who is seeking a National Assembly seat and has served in many elective posts in Nairobi, was cornered when he visited one of the estates in the east and residents openly told him off. They said he had done nothing to show for all his years in politics. The man kept his cool and politely told his tormentors that he has a future out of politics owing to his wife's big job.

The TNA presidential candidate Uhuru Kenyatta risks the wrath of the media for insisting they register in advance to cover the launch of his manifesto. The invite to the Sunday event at Kasarani Gymnasium sounds like the “Free Lunch Offer” of last year during the launch of the TNA at KICC. According to the press invite for the manifesto launch, “due to the creative set and elaborate floor plan for the event we request media houses to kindly indicate to us the number of people they intend to send to cover the event so that we can send accreditation cards to the respective media houses.”
