A first time MP from Kisumu County recently publicly rebuked some of his campaigners for their 'unpleasant behavior." The MP was irked that despite all he had been doing to assist the youth, some of them were making impossible and irrelevant demands. One of his youth coordinators had demanded that he put up some rental houses for him while another has been liberally pocketing the money the MP has been sending him to present as his contribution to funerals in his constituency. The MP has threatened yet another of his youth coordinators that he will repossess several heads of cattle he had given him to pay dowry for his wife if the man does not toe the line.

A private residence adjacent to the Kisumu State Lodge has for years been known as a the brewing place of one of the many unregistered alcoholic drinks which have proved to be lethal to consumers. Those living in the area say the man has been conducting his business for several years and seems to have pocketed the local police chiefs as well as the KEBs officials who turn a blind eye to his illegal 'manufacturing' enterprise. The man is also said to be producing fake Kenya Bureau of Standard stickers.

A politician from Kwanza constituency is said to have threatened a former employee of the CDF committee after the employee led others in demanding for their dues.

Several veteran and current politicians are reportedly organizing a series of rallies in Nandi county during which they will attempt to Keter down to size.
