Orderlies in Parliament have had a rough two weeks trying to cope with the increased number of new MPs who have been flocking the premises to familiarize themselves ahead of today's swearing in ceremony. Not only is the number of MPs higher 345 compared to the Tenth Parliament's 222, majority of the MP-elects are newbies. Many a time the orderlies have had to be saved from embarrassing themselves by asking some of the veteran MPs who have made a comeback to assist in identifying these MPs.

An MP- elect from Coastal region who is making his debut is so excited that he cannot wait to be sworn in this morning. The man was overheard bragging that he cannot wait for parliamentary sessions to start so that he can show his rival in the just ended elections his oratorical and debating skills. The man said that he will go to the Hansard— the official record of Parliament's activities and debates— to get a print out of the number of times his predecessor contributed to debates in the House or even initiated debate.

Still basking in the glory of their performance in Nigeria, some of Harambee Stars players are already grousing about the behavior of the federation's top administrators. Much as they took the opportunity to bask in the glory of the team's performance, a top striker in the team was heard dismissing the federation's chairman, accusing him of running the show on his own terms and being a hindrance to the development of sport.

Speculation that a senator-elect who allegedly took some money from a state parastatal where he once severed is being considered for a Cabinet Secretary post has infuriated some Rift professionals. They have now threatened to organize public demonstrations if the man's name is presented for nomination and are appealing to President-elect Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto not consider the man even if he is nominated.
