So who is funding Cord's Okoa Kenya referendum push? This is the question many Kenyans are asking especially after the the secretariat moved from Raila Odinga's office to the plush Lavington estate. The moving of the team headed by lawyer Paul Mwangi came shortly after a retreat by the coalition's top brass in Tanzania. The former Prime Minister and his co-principals Moses Wetang'ula and Kalonzo Musyoka have always insisted that the vote would be financed by “Kenyans”.

Senior government officials including top police officers and MPs from areas where the just-concluded police recruitment were cancelled are in panic. Some of them had collected money from the would-be police officers in pretence that they would get them employed. Some have been spotted near the offices of the Police Service Commission attempting to petition the commission to consider recruiting back their "clients".

The Guardian Bus company is in trouble after one of its clients threatened to sue for losing his Maseno-bound luggage recently. The customer has been making frantic efforts to have a word with the management over his lost parcel. The management has refused to own up or cooperate to have the matter mutually settled. The customer has been told to produce the commodity receipt and where it was bought. This is after cutting short his holiday because the management would disconnect his calls whenever he tried to reach them. He wonders how many others are subjected to such treatment from the prestigious bus company.
