A FIERY RIFT Valley MP is said to be in full-blown panic mode after allegedly mistakenly dropping an unverified, purportedly “highly sensitive” memo into a WhatsApp group populated by senior party heavyweights. The document — which reportedly touches on delicate internal succession manoeuvres — was supposedly intended for a much smaller, tight-lipped circle. Realising the blunder, the legislator has reportedly spent the past 24 hours speed-dialling group members, offering breathless “clarifications” and blaming everything from autocorrect to poor network.

Word has it that several big names are distinctly unimpressed, with one insider joking that the MP may soon need more than a phone call to fix this political own goal.

Insiders whisper that the two can barely stand the sight of each other these days — meetings allegedly tense up the moment their eyes lock across the room. One staffer reportedly joked that you could “cut the atmosphere with a panga.” A recent mediation effort has supposedly already flopped, leaving the feud very much alive and threatening to boil over.
