From employment, team selection to those intrusive pregnancy tests before the world championships. Wanja died with the secrets - others shouldn't. Some of those wailing louder than the bereaved were part and parcel of a larger sex-for-game cartels at Kenya Volleyball Federation. Janet Wanja once found herself right in the middle of the scandal - and was dragged into a press conference to deny it.

Meru Governor Bishop Kawira Mwangaza and her husband Robert Murega Rimbera could be the end of all sanity in the county. Ghetto, uncultured and unhinged, through and through. Mediocrity at every turn. The husband of Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza.

The constitutional power in Kenya isn't transmitted in any other way, other than through the ballot, even if the couple share other things in common - or not.

No questions asked. Just an old, feel good , 7- Minute Television infomercial.

Another property TV host was quite happy with the project too and failed to ask pertinent questions about the entire investment. Is it the editorial red carpet prognosis?
