Politicians make the greatest gossips and that is why this column will never run dry. Several MPs were overheard animatedly discussing one of their colleagues. They ripped apart her academic and professional background with one of them enthusiastically explaining that he had hard evidence to prove that their female colleague never completed high school and was expelled while in Form Two; was married early, enrolled in a tailoring course and soon afterwards was divorced. Now if only they could as enthusiastic about issues that really matter to Kenyans!

Top managers in several blue chip companies have been put on the spot by senior officials of University of Nairobi. The managers presented several bright students of the UoN with scholarships and were prominently featured in the media presenting the students with the dummy cheques. Three months since the widely publicised ceremony, the companies are yet to make good their promise to present the students with the real cheques— much to the dismay of the students and the university which has decided to follow through on the promises.

Several City council askaris who behave as if they are above the law bit off more than they could chew when they arrested a pedestrian who loudly inquired why they should cause commotion in the CBD in the name of getting rid of hawkers. Angry at the man's comments, the askaris manhandled the man into their van and when he resisted saying he was neither hawking or breaking any law, they pulled his ears and demanded that he parts with 'something small' if he wanted to be set free. The askaris were shocked when the man identified himself as a journalist and they pleaded with him not to report them. To show how apologetic they were, the askaris offered to drive the man to the bus terminus where he was going.

Was the Attorney General Githu Muigai bluffing when he announced a list of ten members whom he said would be on the committee to study the ICC decision and advise the government? Our moles tell us that some of the individuals were not aware of the appointment and only got to learn of it from the news media. It seems the State Law office is yet to communicate with the individuals concerned, get them their terms of reference or even give them a briefing on exactly what it is they are supposed to do.
