SIMMERING DISQUIET IS brewing in the corridors of government around some Cabinet secretaries who have loudly gone mute even as their political backyard turns hostile against the very regime they serve. This column reportedly overheard some insiders questioning the loyalty and relevance of the ‘silent generals’ whose inclusion into the system was meant to pacify the region. Word has it that State House operatives are taking note—and not kindly. Question on the lips of political watchers is the motive of the loud silence.

A COUNTY BOSS who got into the office with lots of expectations has shocked many with his style of leadership that seems to be lethargic and dull. His supporters are now a worried lot since they have not seen anything tangible done save for endless daily office photos and AI generated captions being shared on every social media platform in the county and the region. The boss, who took over after several run-ins with his predecessor, has now acquired nicknames with some stakeholders calling him ‘interim’.

But following a damning court ruling that went against them, the tone has changed. The aggrieved leaders feel shortchanged—used for optics and numbers, then quietly abandoned at the hour of need.

A SEASONED LAWMAKER who was recently installed to chair a crucial departmental committee is reportedly ‘spoiling the party for his colleagues’. The opposition MP has become talk of his members for his unwavering stance on graft and manipulation by witnesses. We are told things went south for some members when the chairman turned down a fat inducement from a case the team is currently probing. The committee members were allegedly overheard cursing the chair for making life so hard, faulting him for taking “long to understand how things work around”. Some members are said to be holding strategy meetings, hoping to convince party leadership that the chair is too “clean” to be effective.
