A member of the Judicial Service Commission has been bragging that he will "buy" MPs to dismiss a petition that has been filed against some commission members. A Meru resident has filed a petition in Parliament asking MPs to remove some JSC members from office because of the way they handled the chief registrar of the judiciary, Gladys Shollei. The JSC member told his colleagues not to worry about the petition because it is a waste of time as," I will buy parliament".

Where is Martha Karua? We are told that the former presidential candidate has been spending a lot of time in her house since she lost the March 4 elections. It is understood that the former Gichugu MP is yet to fully recover from the loss she suffered with her party Narc-Kenya during the polls. Martha has, according to sources, since opted to take a low profile and do some consultancy work. She is reported to have also changed her number so that only a few people can reach her.
