A former MP was among those listed by a golf club in Kiambu as one of the members who had not paid bills. The former MP, who during the former regime earned a reputation of handing out huge bundles of notes at harambees especially when Moi was the guest of honour, had apparently not paid the club for the hospitality accorded to him.

First it was Jamleck Kamau who ditched the Reds for Greens and then Peter Munya followed suit. Now we are told that Peter Mwathi of Limuru might be the next MP to jump ship. Those in the know tell us that Mwathi might decamp before the end of the week. The emissaries sent to Mwathi had among other persuasion tricks told him he will be personally received by President Kibaki if he decides to decamp. This brings to mind the highly publicised defections that were organised during the Kanu days when people would literally line up to be received by Moi, then the party supremo!

Who broke into the Red Card Centre that houses the No camp and what was in the computers that were stolen? Our moles in that office tell us that the break-in could have been an inside job.

Claims by the NO team that the August 4 referendum will be rigged are growing as the D-Day draws near. The Yes supporters are adamant that there are no such plans and the NEC has been open about the arrangements being put in place to ensure the polls are free and fair. Maybe the No team should tell Kenyans about their specific concerns as to how the rigging will happen so that they can be aware. Or are they just crying wolf the way Kenyan politicians are known to do?

We are told Runyenjes MP Cecily Mbarire has banned non-Embu players from a constituency league sponsored by the CDF sports fund. This was after her village team, Kanja FC, lost 5-3 two weeks ago to Kagaari FC which is from the cosmopolitan Runyenjes town.
