MP escalates fight with governor, hires overseas-based blogger

A SEASONED LAWMAKER, long embroiled in a feud with his county governor, has now escalated the battle to new heights. Sources indicate the legislator has allegedly enlisted the services of a controversial overseas-based blogger to launch online attacks and expose alleged underhand dealings within the county administration. The blogger has wasted no time, unleashing a series of damning — though largely unverified — exposés. However, insiders claim much of the content is fabricated, aimed at tarnishing the governor’s image ahead of the next general election. In a tit-for-tat move, the embattled governor is reportedly assembling a digital response team to hit back and protect his political turf.

Word has it that a former Cabinet Secretary has taken over most of her responsibilities, with whispers suggesting the role may soon be completely out of her hands. In one telling incident, the ex-CS allegedly attended a meeting meant for the lady, only for her to be barred from joining. For many, the writing is already on the wall.
