Two Different Sunday Nations Were In Circulation.
Two Different Sunday Nations Were In Circulation.
Which Sunday Nation Did You Read?
Kenya, unlike several developed countries, does not have newspapers with more than one daily editions. That means we only see one issue of every newspaper everyday or every week depending on the paper. So, what are the odds of you seeing two different Daily Nations on a single day? Unless NMG decides to take that road, we may safely assume that it will never your lifetime.
This Sunday however, there were two different Sunday Nations in circulation. The one sold on newspaper stands was different from the one circulated as an e paper. Subscribers of the Nation's e paper got a different front page from the print paper. It is still not clear what caused this flaw, whether it was deliberate and whether it affected all subscribers. It is also not clear if it has ever happened again. The difference on the two papers was the main story. The print copy carried a story about Raila and NSIS, while the soft copy had a story about Raila welcoming court ruling on MRC.
Perusing through both papers will show you more discrepancies, especially on the Raila story. Page 10 of both paper contains the story of Raila and NSIS. However, the headlines are different. The print copy reads; Raila:NSIS wants to bring me down while the soft copy reads: 'Bring me down and kill the reform dream'.
The real reason why there were two different Sunday Nations in circulation will remain a matter of speculation unless someone at Nation explains.
Here are two images of the Sunday Nation issue of 29th July front page. The not so clear one is the scanned copy of the one you probably saw on your way from church.

EXCLUSIVE: Kibaki and Wambui spotted taking a leisure walk in Carnaby street, London
EXCLUSIVE: Kibaki and Wambui spotted taking a leisure walk in Carnaby street, London
Gossip and Drama03:28
Tuesday, 31/07/2012- Word on the street has it that Hon. Mwai Kibaki was spotted taking a leisure walk on Carnaby Street, London with his sweetheart Mary Wambui.
According to a source in the Diaspora, the two who are in London for the Olympics were followed by their bodyguards from a distance.
A young Kenyan man who dwells in West London revealed that he met with the elderly couple while he was jogging and was fascinated on the resemblance of the old man to President Kibaki.
To cure his curiosity, he called his relatives in Kenya who confirmed that Kibaki was actually in London. He tried to catch up with the President to get a handshake and take a picture but his bodyguards warned him against what they termed as ‘infringing on his privacy’.
Drama has been taking place in Kibaki’s home and this might be the reason he took a break. The controversial first Lady, Lucy Kibaki recently chased away Kibaki’s head chef, King’ori in unclear circumstances.
Lucy also fired the head of Presidential Escort Unit Kitili Mwendwa for allowing Wambui to visit Kibaki at his Harambee House office.
Early this year, a sickly Lucy also went ahead and fired her house aide for mixing her clothes with Kibaki’s in the laundry basket.

Lucy Kibaki strikes AGAIN
Lucy Kibaki strikes AGAIN
Gossip and Drama02:56
Tuesday July 31, 2012 - First Lady Lucy Kibaki has unceremoniously sacked President Kibaki’s head chef in unclear circumstances.
The chef who can only identified as Mr King’ori lost the job a few hours before President Kibaki left for the official opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics last Friday.
Lucy Kibaki has been keeping a low profile and has also been absent during public functions for close to a year.
According to a credible source, the chef has not been replaced after the fallout with the first lady.
The head chief is the latest in a long list of senior State House staff who have unceremoniously exited State House during the Kibaki era.
Some of those who have left State House in unclear circumstances are former state house comptrollers, Matere Keriri, Hyslon Ipu and Nelson Githinji.
The same fate befell the President’s Security Chief, Kitili Mwendwa early this month after she allowed PNU activist Mary Wambui to “see” President Kibaki at his Harambee House office.
Kitili was sacked and later redeployed to police headquarters.

Can this be TRUE? Meles is DEAD
Can this be TRUE? Meles is DEAD
Gossip and Drama02:43
An Ethiopian Airlines employee, who wants to remain anonymous, informed reporters this afternoon that Ethiopia’s dictator Meles Zenawi has died 4 days ago. But according to our sources, his bodyguards are still at St. Luc Hospital in Belgium. If Meles is dead, what are they doing in Belgium? Is it a diversionary tactic?
When asked how he found out the information, the EAL employee said that he overheard it by accident on Monday from senior airline officials who are members of the ruling party. He added that he receives Ethiopian Review email updates regularly and decided to contact us with this information after hearing Bereket Simon’s interview this morning and was offended by what he heard.
Coupled with similar information we have been receiving since Sunday from several credible sources, the story about the dictator’s death is gaining more credence by the day.
Woyanne propaganda chief Bereket Simon’s press conference this morning (watch below) raised more questions than answers. Observers speculate that the Woyanne junta could be keeping the dictator’s death secret because there is a growing dissatisfaction with Meles Zenawi’s choice of Berhane Gebrekristos as his successor.

Kenya ready to respond in case of Ebola outbreak
Kenya ready to respond in case of Ebola outbreak
News23:44
Tuesday, the 31st of July 2012 -Several top health officials have told the Kenyan DAILY POST that the country is ready to respond in the unfortunate possibility that an Ebola virus outbreak happens in the country.
Uganda is currently facing the daunting task of containing the spread of the Ebola virus after news had it on Monday that one person had died in the capital Kampala. That death brought the official death toll to 14.
With Kenya having to pay attention to events across the border, the Director of Public Health Dr Shahnaaz Shariff has told the Kenya DAILY POST that several emergency teams are ready to respond in the instance of an outbreak;
“We are confident Ebola will be contained in Uganda but in case of an outbreak in Kenya, we are prepared to handle it,” said Shariff.
His sentiments were echoed by Busia District Public Health Officer Ambrose Fwamba who said the health officials in the District were stepping up screenings of people coming from across the border with Uganda;
“We are using the Provincial Administration and education officials to pass information regarding transmission and how to identify those who have contracted the disease,” said Fwamba.
Despite the optimism, Veronica Kiluva of the Centre for Disaster Management and Humanitarian Assistance at Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology however warned the officials concerned that they cannot afford to be slack;
“What we need to do is ensure that we vet all those crossing our borders to avoid the spread of the deadly disease,” said Dr Kiluva.
“Health officers should use all possible platforms to intensify sensitisation of the public on how to identify early symptoms of the disease,” she concluded.
