The growing closeness of President Uhuru and former PNU activist Stanley Livondo is sending shivers down the spines of top Luhya leaders. Last Friday, Uhuru, who was the chief guest at the homecoming party of Bungoma Governor Kenneth Lusaka, was seen having a tête-à-tête with the flamboyant businessman-cum-politician, who has declared he will vie for the presidency in 2017. The leaders are now wondering whether Uhuru wants to make Livondo his point man in Luhyaland.

Last Thursday afternoon, some of Washington DC’s residents were treated to a surprise when President Obama decided to take a walk. He strolled along the street with his jacket slung over his shoulder to the admiration of those he came across. The world’s most powerful president is said to have been heading from the White House to the nearby Department of Interior and decided to break with tradition. On the way, he got a chance to meet with all sorts of folks, who were not expecting to meet the President of the United States of America. Obama chatted with tourists, shopkeepers and children. Maybe African leaders can borrow a leaf from Obama.

An MP from South Rift nearly lost his money to twilight girls in Kericho town. The MP had just booked himself into a hotel adjacent to the town and told his driver that he wanted to quench his sex thirst. The driver went to a nearby club and picked two women and they went straight to the hotel where the MP had paid for two rooms. The MP selected one of the women and the driver went with the other. The woman who was to sleep with the MP differed over the price the legislator had offered for the whole night. A scuffle ensued and the woman grabbed the MP’s coat and ran away with it in the hope that is was full of money. Lucky enough, Mheshimiwa’s bulging wallet was safely in his trousers.

A day after Deputy President William Ruto said it was he and President Uhuru who approved the transfer of former NYS director general Kiplimo Rugut, senior officials in the Office of the President seem to differ with him. They said Ruto should take personal responsibility as he solely ordered for the transfer. “The President is clean on this matter. It is his deputy who played the lead role and his community has now threatened to abandon him. The ground is becoming hostile for him,” the official was overheard telling his friends at a city hotel.
