The daily focused on veteran government minister Simeon Nyachae’s life following his death on Monday, February 1 at the Nairobi Hospital.

The former Finance Minister and Nyaribare Chache MP was close late presidents Daniel Arap Moi and Mzee Jomo Kenyatta.


However, he fell out with Mzee Moi in 1999 for slamming the government for being broke and corrupt.

It has now emerged that a section of Members of Parliament are planning to ‘****’ Deputy President William Ruto’s hustler nation.

According to the daily, the MPs are planning to do away with the hustler nation by simply criminalising it.

It also noted that the National Assembly’s national security led by Kiambaa MP Paul Koinange spent a two-day retreat in Mombasa where they reviewed bills that they want tabled in order to amend the National Cohesion and Integration act (NCIC).

Koinanhe argued that there is no difference between those propagating hate along tribal lines and those spreading division using the hustler versus dynasty narrative.
