Panic has set in among a section of businessmen and importers who have been evading tax after the position of the Kenya Revenue Authority Commissioner in charge of investigations and revenue protection was advertised last Monday. The businessmen and importers don't know whether the person who gets the job will be 'friendly' to them. It seems the new Commissioner General of KRA is in the process of assembling a team that will help him not only clean up the authority but ensure the taxman gets each and every coin due to him to help meet the huge deficit in the trillion-shilling plus budget.

A film officer who started working in the Presidential Press Service of retired President Daniel Moi in 1982 and who was re-deployed to work in former Prime Minister Raila Odinga's press service in 2008 has reportedly refused to report to his new station in the ongoing government restructuring. The officer has been making frantic appeals to his boss to revoke the transfer saying he is the only cameraman who is best placed to work for Deputy President William Ruto as the DP cannot trust new officers. The man has been moving from the office of the head of press to the chief of staff asking them to prevail upon his boss to revoke his transfer.

Former Vice President and Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka is either receiving the beating of a lifetime or is not aware of what is happening. During the Cord press conference at Serena on Tuesday, he brought apologies of his co-principals Raila Odinga and Moses Wetang’ula. The man did not however appear to know where Wetang’ula was. At first he claimed the Senate Minor- ity Leader was in Western for his election petition but when informed that was not so, he quickly shifted gears and said Wetang’ula was actually out of the country. Kalonzo, who has been known as an affable, calm and collected man, at one point banged the table to emphasise a point. But he quickly recovered and even asked God to forgive him. For banging the table?
