Trouble is brewing at Maendeleo ya Wanawake Organisation following a protocol hitch during the launch of Uwezo Fund last weekend. The national chairperson Rukia Subwoh, though present, was never invited to address those in attendance. Instead her second vice chairperson Rahab Muyu was invited to address the gathering as Subow watched. The question doing the rounds is, just why did Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru snub Subow? Or is there more to this than a mere protocol hitch?

While the 20 or so MPs who accompanied Deputy President William Ruto the Hague were spending their evening hours up and about in various places of interest, Kiharu MP Irungu Kang'ata was making arrangements to attend a reggae concert by Gyptian, the Jamaican roots reggae/dancehall singer who was scheduled to perform Saturday at a club in Rotterdam which is 29 kilometers from the Hague where he and other MPs are staying. Kang'ata was overhead telling his colleagues that he had assured his wife that he would not visit some 'special streets' in Amsterdam but would pull all the stops to attend the concert which will be taking place on Saturday, the same day they are scheduled to leave for home.

Still in Hague, Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi could afford to doze off in the courtroom public gallery despite being on the front row, a few metres from the judges. Sudi leaned on his seat and dozed off forcing the security guards to come and tap him on the shoulder to wake him up. He was the fourth on the front row after Ruto's wife Rachel, daughter June and Kenya's ambassador to Netherlands Rose Makena. Several MPs also had to be told to keep quiet as they loudly chatted inside the courtroom.

An exuberant first time MP is a distraught man after the leader of his party in Parliament stopped him from making the 'solidarity trip to the Hague.' The man was among the most vocal when it came to the discussion on what they should do. He had declared that he and other MPs would camp in the Netherlands for as long as the case was being heard. His overall excitement at the prospects of the trip seemed to have raised concerns among his party leadership who summoned him and told him not to make the trip. He was given no reasons for this and has now retreated to drowning his disappointment in drink.
