It seems the new trend in town is foreign trips for the members of county assemblies. Social media was yesterday abuzz with news that Nyeri MCAs went to Ethiopia at a cost of more than Sh10 million to learn about coffee. Interestingly, they never visited any coffee farm. In Nakuru, it is said the MCAs spent Sh16 million on a week-long trip to Uganda but there was no indication as to whether they went by bus. Yet in Kisumu, the MCAs are said to be in Germany to learn about waste management.

So President Uhuru Kenyatta reads the Star after-all. Yesterday the President told a media conference at State house Nairobi that journalists should ask the Editor of the Star where he got the story of the impending cabinet reshuffle from. So i'm sure you know that the President reads the Star even though he told the country a few ago that newspapers were for wrapping meat.

The President may have dismissed as rumours that UDF Leader Musalia Mudavadi was about to appointed to the cabinet plus two others, we are told that Mudavadi has asked for the post of Interior. Although the President's handlers want to hand Mudavadi the Develution docket, those in the know tell us that the son of Mudamba wants nothing but Ole Lenku's job!

Some professionals from Baringo County were overheard conversing aloud in a Nairobi Hotel that they will file a case in court to have one Festus Kuniya the nominee for County Executive Lands Housing and urban development to leave office if he is sworn in. The professionals loudly complained to the amusement of other Patrons that Festus Kuniya never applied for the job, was not shortlisted but appeared before the vetting committee. They said that the man should not be given the job since he never applied for it.
