Corridors of Power

COMMUNICATION ADVISERS IN a key ministry could be in trouble if all the disquiet around the CS in charge are anything to go by.

We are told the CS is supposedly not happy with reported suboptimal media coverage of his all-important event at a national installation, accusing his team of not thinking ahead to strategically position him and the event.

After the function, major news platforms led with other content, much to the purported chagrin of the man, who smelled sabotage. We are told the hour of reckoning is coming for his media team.

THAT POWER IS fleeting is a reality for a long-serving former CS. The man, who served in the former regime, allegedly spends most of his days at the lobby of a major city hotel reading papers and making endless orders for tea.

DID A POWERFUL man hit the table in a rage after the news about a tragedy at his official address leaked to the press? We are told the man reportedly directed his anger at his communication handlers, whom he felt did not do enough gate-keeping. The news was about an incident at a site in the sprawling premise that allegedly saw two lives lost. But with the news coming as the country is facing a reckoning from the recent death of Albert Ojwang’, he felt someone was deliberately ‘poisoning the waters’ for him. He supposedly threatened the team with fresh vetting, if they don’t shape up.
