Clerk of the Senate Jeremiah Nyegenye is in an unenviable position, especially now that two Houses are in a serious supremacy war. He is both the clerk of the Senate and the CEO of the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC). Stretched to the limit, Nyegenye is the accounting officer of parliament, which brings together the Senate and National assembly. At the Senate his boss is Speaker Ekwee Ethuro. At the PSC, his boss is National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi. So when recently the Senate went to the Supreme Court, Nyegenye first sat with Ekwee and agreed on the lawyers to represent the senate and even negotiated their fees. After the filing of the application, he had another meeting with Muturi when he helped scout lawyers to represent the NA in the matter.Here too he was key in the identification and negotiating their fees. Talk of grazing with antelopes and hunting with the lions!

The more things change the more they remain the same. Ten CID officers were on Wednesday afternoon deployed to an address on 74 Muthaiga Road to harass a woman who is in the process of divorcing her extremely rich husband. The deployment was done on the orders of their senior who is a friend of the man who is being divorced. It seems the intention was to intimidate and harass the woman into withdrawing her divorce petition. She is wondering why so many CID officers would be so zealous in a civil matter instead of dealing with crime which is spiraling out of control. Some of the CID officers are also perplexed by the orders but could not disobey them even though they know they were in breach of the law and the force standing orders!

“I am the real Kimaiyo this time round,” says Inspector General David Kimaiyo to confirm that he is the one who has indeed opened a Facebook account and not an imposter like the college student who arrested in January after opening a Facebook account in the IG'sname. Kimaiyo— to show that he is in with the digital administration— told a meeting of senior policemen that they and the public too, were free to contact him on traditional media —phone, etc—but could also 'friend' 'like' him on Facebook. Kimaiyo said he had forgiven the college student and withdrawn the case after the young man collapsed when he was asked to deposit a Sh500,000 cash bail when he appeared in court.

First it was the nurses, then the teachers...next are parastatal staff who want to go on strike after it emerged that the 10-member parastatal board is provided with an annual medical cover of Sh72 million yet all the 1,000 low level employees have to share a medical cover of only Sh78 million!
