Just who will come to the rescue of club owners in one of the high-end suburbs in Nairobi? Well, they are angered by an overbearing police chief they say has kept frustrating them under the pretext of enforcing Covid-19 rules. The officer is said to lock down clubs that fail to heed to his demands for bribes, running into tens of thousands of shillings. The ranking officer, they say, orders those who don’t part with bribes to close as early as 6pm, way before the set time. The officer reportedly invokes the name of bosses at Vigilance House when challenged about his excesses. Perhaps police boss Hilary Mutyambai might save the desperate business owners?
Talk of a Cabinet reshuffle has been in the works for some time, setting the stage for intense lobbying by bigwigs in the country’s political movements.

The group is now hoping their noises would reach their boss to change his mind, or they stage a mass walkout from his seemingly feeble camp.

Members of a church in Nairobi were overheard bitterly complaining that a city MP seems to take them for fools every time he addresses a congregation. Last Sunday, the congregants were particularly irked with the legislator's statement that members of his community would determine the next governor of Nairobi, citing their large number of registered voters. A churchgoer lamented that the statement to the effect that the community members will vote in one basket was not only laced with tribal undertones but makes them perceived as persons who have no minds of their own when making political decisions.
