WEEKEND POLITICS-KENYA
*********
The new Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya, Prof Njuguna Ndung’u has a striking resemblance to Nairobi Town Clerk John Gakuo. It’s now common knowledge that Nairobi ceased being the City in the Garbage the moment the former DC pitched tent at City Hall. Now it’s on the way to being a City in the Sunshine. Could Ndung’u, too, be the magic the monetary policy always needed?

Is it a crime for academies to excel in both KCPE and KCSE? Why then do those that shine in one are nowhere in the top charts in the other? Nairobi’s Makini and Riara and Nyandarua’s Busara and Nyahururu Elite schools are giants in KCPE, but they whimper in the Form Four examination.

A Kenyan MP who’s a student at the University of Nairobi has exported his thieving ways to academia. During the exams, he armed himself with lecture notes to cheat. But he was caught by a hawk-eyed supervisor. He sought intervention from above, but the supervisor remained put. Has he faced the full force of the law?.....do u know him...

Kenya Pipeline held an annual general meeting where the shareholders were the Government and the Government. And the shareholders smiled all the way to the bank — the company made Sh4 billion pre-tax profit, Sh150 million dividend and a raft of investments amounting to a whopping Sh11 billion. Kudos to MD George Okungu.

Mathira MP Nderitu Gachagua can afford a sigh of relief now that one of the three of his formidable opponents is no longer in the race. Peter Kuguru has decided to concentrate his energies on the Mega initiative, leaving Gachagua to scratch his head over veteran Matu Wamae and Kirinyaga Construction maestro Ephraim Maina.

And finally …
Ex-Mozambican President Joachim Chissano was in Nairobi and spoke fluent English. He speaks Portuguese with an Iberian accent. Can other leaders match the linguistic navigation?
