Presidential security agents are still having difficulties handling
President Uhuru Kenyatta's movements especially inside State House. An
insider within the security circle revealed that State House has,
twice in recent months, gone into panic when Uhuru leaves without notice
and swiftly walks to his private residence which shares a  fence with
State House.

Word
doing rounds is Secretary to the Cabinet Francis Kimemia may be on his
way out. Speculation is growing that Uhuru's former personal assistant
John Njuguna Burungu, who is an expert on devolution, may be considered
as a replacement. Acting Vision 2030 CEO Gituro Wainana is also being
considered but some of his detractors seem to think he is "too senior in
age" to keep up with the President's pace.

Police
in Eldoret are reluctant to charge a businessman who assaulted his
wife last week even though they have completed their investigations and
found grounds for arrest and prosecution. It seems the businessman was
called in for questioning soon after the report was filed on October 17.
The man has been calling and intimidating those who witnessed the
assault. He has been telling his injured wife that nothing will come out
of her complaint. The police were ready to take him doc kurt last
Tuesday but they received 'orders from above', which saw them postpone
their action until Wednesday. Nothing happened. But
our moles tell us the officers are reluctant to pursue the matter and
it is unlikely they will take him to court on November 4.

To
work with the Uhuru administration or not? That seems to be the dilemma
facing some leaders from Nyanza, who are quietly weighing their
options. It seems they believe being in the opposition is hurting them
and their constituencies as they are not receiving the same services as
other regions, which are considered to be pro-government. They blame the
failure of the police to deal with rising insecurity in their areas to
the fact that they are considered to be opposition zones!
