A YOUNG MISTRESS who reportedly replaced a retiring secretary of a second-term governor from Rift Valley has raised eyebrows with her approach to the job. She has implemented her own strict set of rules for anyone seeking an audience with the governor. You either comply or are turned away. Residents used to freely accessing the office now find themselves locked out, fuelling speculation about whether her strictness will salvage the governor’s dwindling reputation or accelerate his decline. Perhaps someone should remind her that politics thrives on accessibility and goodwill, not rigid gatekeeping.

WE RECENTLY TOLD you about an intense and long-standing infighting between two senior officials within a particular ministry. The power struggle was reportedly so fierce that it severely hampered the implementation of a critical national programme.

AN MP IN a county in Nyanza is at a crossroads over his gubernatorial ambitions. The lawmaker believes the dominant political party in the region might not give him the ticket. The party has earned notoriety for not conducting free and fair party nominations. The legislator believes he has huge support on the ground to unseat the incumbent, who is accused of not initiating meaningful development projects. Last week, pictures reportedly emerged of the governor and a high profile man in what appeared to be a private meeting, raising the man’s temperatures. The MP is unsure whether the current powers will allow him to ride on the grassroots support he enjoys to be the county boss.
