Corridors of Power
There's is an uproar among staff at the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) over allegations of tribalism. Our moles tell us that five out of the senior positions in that office are all members of one community. The five all hold positions in the tendering committee. The staff's concern is not that the five do no deserve the positions, but that their elevation is in direct contravention of the NCIC Act which stipulates that no one ethnic community should occupy more than one third of the top slots in a public institution. Since the five sit in the tender committee, they can easily manipulate the tendering process.

The US giant supermarket chain Walmart is eyeing a stake in the local retail store Naivas as it seeks to spread its tentacles. Walmart is reportedly seeking to buy a 51 per cent stake in the Kenyan retailer, something which has sent shivers down the spines of the other local supermarkets such as Nakumatt and Tuskys. The latter two are the biggest supermarket chains in Kenya and the region.
