The following are major news items in Kenyan media on Monday.

-- Anxiety grips Opposition supporters as their leaders coalescing under the National Super Alliance (NASA) on Sunday began talks on who will be their presidential flagbearer amid fears of a break-up. The leaders and their stalwarts have each maintained a hardline stance in public that if they are not picked to run against President Uhuru Kenyatta, they would walk out of NASA. Two sets of lists of potential line-up and a power-sharing agreement were leaked last week, fuelling more speculation of a break-up as the leaders disowned them. (Daily Nation)
