Security chief at war with top entity faces bleak future

IS IT A decline in confidence or early signs of eventual sacking ahead of 2027? That is the question on the lips of the handlers of a top security man who has been having power tussles with a top entity in the sector over control of a crucial process.

THAT RELATIONS BETWEEN governors and their deputies are often frosty is not new but the tension between a coastal county chief and his deputy is reportedly on a new level. The two allegedly don’t see eye to eye and don’t even shake hands. The deputy county boss reportedly does not step into his boss’s office and it is alleged that he does not take a sip of water or tea during meetings for fear of being poisoned. While the deputy maintains a low public profile, insiders say he has purportedly grown increasingly sidelined in major decision-making processes. Meanwhile, the governor – reportedly unhappy with the perceived disloyalty – has begun consolidating power among loyalists.
