Good morning,
Interior CS Fred Matiang’i, in his own wisdom, has given us a public holiday tomorrow, October 10. The good thing is we don’t have to go to Uhuru Park or other stadia to listen to boring politicians. Should we declare this man president already or as they say, ground vitu ni (things are) different?
The next few hours could be very interesting if ODM makes true their intentions of marching to the IEBC offices. This can easily trigger another holiday if you know what we are saying.
Raila’s party is accusing the electoral body of trying to rig the Kibra by-elections. But aren’t these some of the issues that the handshake was meant to solve?
We will be discussing this and other hot topics on Opera News
Here are the stories making headlines this morning:

Do you believe the government should pay Kibaki’s rent yet he gets a huge pension?
