Was it just a mistake or State House has its own version of the constitution? Yesterday the House on the Hill named the head of the Kenya Police Service as one of the organs that comprises the National Security Council chaired by the President. However, Article 240 recognizes the head of the National Police Service, which essentially is the organ that commands both the Kenya Police Service and the Administration Police Service. Both the KPS and AP have bosses answerable to head of NPS.

Nairobi County Speaker Alex Ole Magelo has been irked by allegations that he ordered that cars belonging to some MCA be clamped. Apparently some naughty city askaris have been clamping cars and when asked why they are doing so they told the owners that "we are implementing an order by Magelo".  A shocked Magelo has denied issuing the orders and issued a stern warning to those using his name to justify their deviant behavior.

Some members of the Nairobi county executive committee are not happy with Deputy Governor Johnathan Mueke. They say Mueke has been using abusive language while addressing them during meetings. The members claim Mueke uses "mediocre" quite a lot while referring to them. They have now warned him against using the language or they will table a motion against him.

Real Estates Investments Trusts  made a debut at the Nairobi Securities Exchange in 2013 with a company known as Home Afrika Limited. While the property market is promising and booming in Kenya fears have been expressed that this sole company does not allow prospective investors to verify its value by availing copies of its title deeds and deed plans especially for the Migaa and Mitini Scapes projects in Kiambu. Other projects are in Kikwetu in Machakos, Lakeview in Kisumu and Llango in Kilifi. The company value stands at Sh8.7 billion and investors are wondering the reason for the drop in the first price listing from Sh12 to the current Sh6 per share.
