MP hits ground with gusto, receiving top politicos in rural home

WE RECENTLY TOLD you of a youthful MP from “politically turbulent region” who has in recent days intensified activities in his constituency as well as appearances on TV under the sponsorship of the powers that be. The purse seems to have reportedly opened wider in recognition of his ground work and the MP recently joined the "Sky Team". He has also made his rural home a supposed hub where he has been receiving top political figures, pushing against another popular politico in the region.

IT SEEMS A newbie in the ranks of state power has allegedly taken his duties seriously, hitting the road earlier than those who have been on the path before. The man has not missed any occasion to preach the agenda of the government of the day. Some passersby at a forum the fellow attended were reportedly overheard marveling at the man’s zeal and what the team he joined had lacked over time. His mastery of the agenda has left many bewildered, the nitpickers asserted. Speak of getting the right hands at the convenient time.

WHAT ARE SO many foreigners doing in one of the constituencies in Eastlands, Nairobi? And how were so many of them allowed into the country, to begin with? Do they have proper documents or someone is sleeping on the job? These are the questions some residents are reportedly asking. The foreigners, many of them from South Asia, are now living with their families comfortably with no qualms. Interestingly, some claim to have come to Kenya as refugees. Many are now engaged in local gigs, including working in car washes.

THE WIFE OF a first-term lawmaker from central Kenya is on the spot for allegedly 'terrorising' her employees. The lady runs a salon in the capital's CBD, where she has employed several workers. However, the employees are said to be going through hell in the hands of the lady. They work seven days a week. Any absence, for whatever reason, even sickness, attracts a salary deduction. If a worker reports to work late by a minute she orders him or her back home for the entire day. No salary for that day. Worse still,  we are told she purportedly neither pays to NSSF or SHA for her employees.
