They say it does not rain, it pours. A woman who recently made huge alimony claims against a senior state official is about to face music over a litany of scams which have suddenly erupted. We are told the lady is in trouble after conning the wife of a Nyandarua MP of millions promising to deliver tiles which she never did. She is also facing a suit after swindling Sh5 million from a man who collapsed on realizing the prison tender the lady claimed she had won was a figment of her fertile imagination. Before the man died, she was swindled a further Sh100,000 as facilitation to secure his son's enrollment into KDF.

A Cabinet Secretary holding a powerful ministry was recently heard complaining to a senior mandarin at the Treasury that it felt so low that he had to report to a senior politician in government every day morning for briefing before heading to his office. The CS who was fronted by the man told the mandarin as they queued to serve meals after attending a public function that even kindergartens are never subjected to this.

"I do not take less than a billion" were the words of a senior government official who has been offered a bribe by an international company. The company's official were in the country at the weekend to push for a certain contract and met several people helping them out. However, when they met the senior official they were taken a back by the demand. The man told the foreigners that even before they talk they should commit to giving him 1 billion for his assistance!

The amount of cash that is flowing among the pro and anti Railway proponents is amazing. An MP whispered to corridors that some of his colleagues in the two committees investigating the matter have been promised at least 100 million if they push they successfully push through the agenda of the two sides.
