AN OPPOSITION MP has reportedly become a bother to a senior parliamentary leader by frequently seeking financial assistance. Sources say the MP supposedly visits the leader’s office almost weekly, requesting money—often for funerals or harambees in his constituency. The constant demands have angered the leader’s team, who have allegedly instructed aides to deny him access. It remains unclear why the second-term lawmaker, who earns about Sh1 million a month, appears to be in such financial distress.

ARE TWO TOP leaders in a county rocked by political turmoil on the verge of striking a truce? Sources indicate that the duo has travelled abroad, where they are reportedly being reconciled by influential figures from their home county. The leaders have been away for two weeks, with signs pointing to a likely return next week—possibly aboard the same flight. Upon their return, they are expected to hold joint rallies to showcase their renewed alliance.

A SENIOR COUNTY official has purportedly become the law unto himself. Despite whispers that his qualifications do not match his current demanding job, the man allegedly struts around the offices issuing instructions left, right and centre, even to departments far outside his docket. Staff privately grumble that he supposedly barks orders like a co-governor, yet no one dares call him out. Insiders say his closeness to the powers that be has made him untouchable, with junior officers reduced to mere spectators in a county where hierarchy now seems to bend around one man.

IS A FIRST-TERM governor from a politically charged county quietly weighing his options after two private opinion polls he commissioned seemingly sent chills down his spine? Both surveys placed him a distant third, trailing badly behind two rivals who have already thrown their hats in the ring for the coveted seat. Our moles whisper that the county boss is now reluctant to risk humiliation at the ballot and could shelve his re-election bid altogether. His inner circle is said to be urging him to consider a national appointment rather than face a devastating defeat at home.
