JUST HOW POWERFUL is an MCA from a cosmopolitan county? This is
the question residents are asking after witnessing the ward rep’s troubling
conduct. The MCA has supposedly
become so feared that even potential competitors avoid mentioning his name. He
reportedly commands a group of political gangs who intimidate or attack anyone
who criticises him. Even more alarming are claims that he may be allegedly enjoying protection from
certain local authorities, allowing him to continue instilling fear and
perpetrating injustices against his critics.

THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE of a major listed firm has become the talk of
corporate circles. Colleagues whisper that his schedule seemingly consists solely of a ceaseless circuit: receiving
endless courtesy calls at his office, being the guest at others’, and
delivering remarks at 'chai and mandazi' workshops. It’s a relentless Monday-to-Monday cycle of ceremonial

corporate ship.

colleagues after refusing to join their campaign against the governor. The
group of legislators has been accusing the county boss ofallegedmismanagement and
misuse of public funds, but the MP has openly disagreed, claiming they are
driven by personal interests rather than the public good. His stance has
angered the group, who now accuse him of supposedly siding with the governor to protect a monthly stipend
he allegedly receives. The fallout has deepened divisions within the county’s
leadership, with both sides trading accusations over loyalty and integrity.

A GOVERNOR’S AIDE has sparked growing disquiet at the county
headquarters, with staff describing him as the alleged “shadow governor.” He is said topurportedly issue instructions to
executive committee members, chief officers, and directors despite lacking the
authority to do so. In some instances, he reportedly attends cabinet meetings
on behalf of the governor, even though his position does not entitle him to sit
in the cabinet. Tensions escalated recently after he allegedly directed an officer
to award multimillion-shilling tenders to a contractor who is his close friend.
Frustrated county officials now say they plan to raise the matter with the
governor.
