*** STILL ON THE FUNERAL, a specific group of politicians from a politically charged region has become the subject of intense public criticism for their conspicuous no-show as donations poured in. Keen observers were overheard mocking the individuals, noting they are usually only keen on "photo opportunities, but arrived with empty hands." The group was unfavourably compared to political leaders from other regions whose tangible contributions and presence were deeply felt and well-documented. Social media platforms are now awash with questions demanding an explanation for their poor showing, with many speculating that the perceived penny pinchers are comfortable knowing a more powerful patron came to their rescue.

THE RECENT BURIAL of a prominent national figure is reportedly inspiring a shift in funeral practices. A senior official, moved by the example, has reportedly decided to draft a will mandating his own swift interment to minimise costs for his community. He intends to champion the gospel of simple, affordable funerals, believing the late leader's decision was for the public's benefit. However, he seemingly worries his community may resist this new trend, following the precedents set by this leader and a recently deceased general.

FINALLY, THE NOTABLE absence of a top security official during a critical period has been clarified. Corridors of Power has learned that the strongman is currently bereaved following the death of his father in Nairobi. His father passed away in the hospital after a brief illness. The officer had just concluded a high-level consultation at a popular address when he was informed of the tragic news. He has since responsibly delegated all ongoing security operations to a trusted, ranking member of his unit, who has been effectively leading the official events in his absence.
