While many of those on the political campaign are making 'huge' promises as they seek for votes, the abolition of a weekly Sh10 tuition fee is reason enough for her to think favorably about Education minister Mutula Kilonzo's candidacy for the Makueni senate.

The Office of the Inspector General has been informed that one of the provincial police bosses is under investigations to explain how he acquired a large portfolio of real estate, a range of high end vehicles and wads of cash in his bank accounts.

A Nakuru gubernatorial candidate Rev Lawrence Bomett is not leaving anything to chance. Our moles tell us that the man has branded one of his cars in the UK with his campaign posters. What the good reverend may have forgotten is that the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission did not register voters in the diaspora and therefore they will not be taking part in the coming elections. A tiny detail he may have also overlooked is that those Kenyans who have been registered to vote will only cast their vote for the presidential candidate and not any other elective post!
