Majority leader faces backlash from MCAs over millions of shillings

Aides of two senior politicians from one of the counties are reportedly growing uneasy over the conduct of their bosses. The veteran leaders are said to have rented rooms in a top hotel in the capital, where they supposedly frequently host young women, mostly university and college students in their early 20s. According to insiders, the two politicians have allegedly turned the facility into their private hideout for secret escapades, after which they hand out between Sh10,000 and Sh30,000 to the women.

A senior political figure eyeing a top seat in the country in the 2027 polls has become the subject of intense discussion in his rural county. The man, who is said to have long abandoned his ancestral home after either selling or gifting his land to his brothers, reportedly built a lavish residence in a city within a neighbouring county. However, since announcing his political ambitions, he has become a frequent visitor to his rural home, seeking the support and blessings of his people. Sources purportedly say he is now desperately looking for land to build a new home in the village after some locals dismissed him as a “city man” who turned his back on his community during his years in public service.

Why is a governor reluctant to publicly declare his support for a senior political figure from the area who is eyeing a top national seat in the next election? Sources say the county boss is not keen on backing the man and has instead allegedly started quietly laying the groundwork to weaken his influence ahead of the polls. The governor, who is said to be nurturing his own presidential ambitions for 2032, reportedly views the senior politician—widely regarded as the community’s kingpin—as a rival standing in his way. Already, he is said to have launched subtle political manoeuvres seemingly aimed at cutting the man down to size before the next election.
