Good morning,
The DPP last December sent back two anti-corruption commission files recommending prosecution of two governors, the Star has learnt.
On December 16, the EACC recommended that Nyamira Governor John Nyagarama be charged with abuse of office. But Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Haji returned the file and asked detectives to tie up the loose ends.
The Eliud Wabukala-led commission on December 11 recommended the prosecution of Taita Taveta Governor Granton Samboja for forgery of academic papers.

Urban survival: Sh50 enough to get you bath, roof over your head
So much could be added to the list of things Sh50 can get you, but, certainly, for many, a shelter making it to this list is unbelievable.
Some boarding houses in the city have, however, broken the norm to provide the shelter at a pocket-friendly cost and a place to clean up in the morning.
Businesspeople, stranded travellers, prostitutes, couples who have disagreed, the homeless, and people staying longer than they had planned, all find a home in these boarding facilities.
