Mourners attending a funeral recently were left wondering why Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko was taking photos of the corpse during viewing time. The Senator used his smart phone to take several photos, perhaps as part of his last respect to the deceased.

HE National Assembly majority leader Adan Duale was at the weekend asked to desist from politicising the ongoing crackdown on illegal immigrants in the country.
The MPs Sammy Koech (Konoin) and Johanna Ngeno (Emurua Dikiir) said the crackdown the government had mounted to weed out aliens is not targeting Somalis or any religious group but all foreigners that are in the country illegally.
They said terrorism attacks, not only in Kenya but also in other countries should be a concern of all the leaders and the citizens.
They said if members from one’s community are found to be in the country illegally, their arrest should not be viewed as targeting a certain group.
“Criminals should not be tagged as representing a community in any heinous act they are involved in but each should take responsibility for his or her acts of lawlessness,” Koech said.
The duo were speaking at Kenyagoro village in Konoin subcounty of Bomet on Saturday during the burial of 102-year-old Elizabeth Kotut, the mother of Bomet county ODM chair Ronald Ngeny.
Koech said Duale’s remarks should not taken lightly adding that Jubilee as a coalition should immediately convene a meeting to discuss his conduct.
“His statement (Duale) can be termed as careless and of an irresponsible leader. He is one of the Jubilee leaders but he is now taking things on his hands forgetting that the security of all Kenyans is at stake. It seems he does not mind about the interests of Kenyans at large but only ‘his people’. He should be investigated and his conduct discussed as a party (URP) and Jubilee coalition,” Konoin MP said.
