Word doing the rounds say that a senior Cord coalition official was reportedly given millions of shillings — the figure being bandied about is Sh20 million— to pay party agents in parts of Central and Rift Valley regions. The money was to pay the CORD agents who were deployed to all the polling stations during Monday's elections to ensure the exercise went according to the law. However, by 6 pm the money had not reached the agents and their growing restlessness reached the ears of a rival coalition whose top hierarchy quickly mobilized the cash and paid the CORD agents!

The Jubilee coalition has prepared a list of people they intend to appoint to the Cabinet should they form the next government.

Some of those identified as potential cabinet secretaries are qualified professionals in the corporate world. Some of them have turned down the overtures as they are unwilling to expose themselves to what is expected to be bruising public scrutiny during their vetting.

Just a few days after President Mwai Kibaki issued charters to five new universities, senior education officials are questioning the quality of the education being offered by a private college in Nairobi's Parklands area.
