Who deserves the praise? MP and agency in tug-of-war over shoddy road

A LEGISLATOR FROM Nairobi and a road authority reportedly appear to be competing for credit over a small stretch of road in one of the suburbs. This section has been problematic for years, and the contract has been prolonged. However, despite the delays, the quality of work remains poor. The pavements and drainage have been inadequately constructed. One wonders why the MP and the parastatal are purportedly competing for recognition with such substandard workmanship.

A SENIOR FIGURE in the current administration has purportedly had a falling out with several high-ranking officers in a ministry after they allegedly threatened to cancel a multimillion-shilling contract awarded to his partners. Corridors understands the ministry has reportedly issued an ultimatum to the contractor to complete the work within a specified timeframe or face termination of the contract. The contractor has supposedly overstayed on site but is yet to finish the work, even as the public exerts pressure on the government regarding the unfortunate state of the road.

DISQUIET HAS ROCKED staff and residents of a county in Western Kenya. Why? The governor has reportedly reinstated his aide who has been accused by many of high-handedness and unfair treatment of officers. This individual has been allegedly accused of sexually harassing his juniors and demanding bribes from residents and visitors seeking an audience with the governor. Last year, the governor supposedly succumbed to pressure after complaints regarding the conduct of his aide. However, it has emerged this man has been reinstated, purportedly triggering anger.

SPEAKING OF GOVERNORS, has a second-term leader from one of the ODM-dominated regions instructed his guards not to allow a former aide to access his office? Interestingly, sources tell Corridors the aide, a journalist who resigned after securing a position in the county, has been reportedly seen at the office months after the governor dismis- sed him. During his dismissal, the county chief allegedly cited incompetence as the reason for relieving the man. Nonetheless, the journalist has been seeking a meeting with the governor to supposedly plead for reinstatement.
