CORRIDORS OF POWER








A POLITICIAN HAS sparked controversy after reportedly impregnating and allegedly taking away the wife of a former county official. Shockingly, the politico has been supposedly bragging about the incident in WhatsApp groups, dismissing locals who confronted him by telling them to keep off his affairs. Reports suggest this is not the first time the man has been allegedly implicated in such scandals, with alleged clandestine relationships in his county, Nairobi and Mombasa.

A LEGISLATOR KNOWN for his seemingly ongoing conflict with the county governor has reportedly taken a drastic step. The outspoken lawmaker allegedly warned a potential investor against committing millions to a project in the county, supposedly citing the corruption tendencies of the current administration as a major risk. Upon learning of this, the governor is said to have been provoked, sparking a renewed clash between the two. In response, the county boss has planned a series of political tours allegedly aimed at portraying the legislator as a traitor to his own county.

DISQUIET HAS ROCKED a cosmopolitan county assembly due to the alleged unbecoming conduct of the majority leader and a senior female administrator. A section of MCAs and staffers are crying foul, claiming they have been sidelined because of their past allegiance to a former assembly official. The ward representatives and staffers say they have been denied trips and other privileges as a result. Surprisingly, the two officers reportedly told employees that their previous loyalty to the former official is the reason they are being denied the privileges.

A GOVERNOR WITH a prominent name in the country’s political scene has shocked his constituents. The county boss has allegedly run down the county, leaving key services paralysed. Residents seeking services at county facilities such as hospitals are often turned away due to shortages of essential supplies. The situation is so dire that key staffers have been on a prolonged silent protest. Those who protest openly reportedly face intimidation from the governor’s goons. Many residents now question why a leader known for championing human rights and democracy has allowed his administration to become a regime of fear.
