Road tender falls into MP’s lap without a bulldozer in sight

An MP with ties to a governor is all smiles—and for good reason. The lawmaker has reportedly secured a lucrative road construction contract in the county worth millions of shillings. Last week, he openly boasted to anyone who would listen about how he leveraged his connections to clinch the deal, outmanoeuvring several other bidders. However, questions have allegedly emerged about the MP’s capacity to deliver, as he is not known to own or operate a construction firm. Only time will tell where this road leads.

A governor, who recently faced the wrath of MCAs, appears to be back to his old ways—and it's not sitting well with the ward representatives. Reports indicate the county boss has reverted to his traditional style of leadership, a move that has once again angered the MCAs. It is understood the governor has supposedly grown wary of working with the same MCAs who previously threatened to oust him. Instead, he is allegedly aligning himself with MCA aspirants, financially supporting them in efforts to discredit the current officeholders—a move that has further infuriated the sitting MCAs.

Members of a parliamentary committee recently left attendees stunned during a meeting with a senior government official at Parliament Buildings. In an unexpected twist, the committee chairperson supposedly devoted nearly half of the session to lobbying the official to organise a retreat for them. The chairperson questioned why the official had arranged a trip for their counterparts in the sister House while sidelining their own committee. The revelation caught many in the room by surprise.

An MP aspirant in a county, may have finally met his match. The aspirant has long been accused of allegedly using intimidation tactics, including deploying goons and resorting to violence to silence his opponents. However, a rival eyeing the same seat appears to have caught on to his playbook. During a recent funeral in the constituency, the two supposedly confronted each other, turning the solemn event into a political circus. Their supporters clashed violently, and the two leaders nearly came to blows as they each tried to take control of the proceedings.
