Sources say he had supposedly received credible warnings that hired goons had been mobilised to confront him over his outspoken stance on national issues. His would-be adversaries were reportedly left waiting in vain as the politician made a swift exit to safety.

A SITTING MP from a certain constituency is reportedly in panic after a rival he had assumed was out of politics resurfaced and signaled interest in contesting the seat in 2027. The challenger, who currently holds a powerful government position, has been actively engaging the community—organising church fundraisers, attending funerals, settling medical bills for the sick, and paying school fees for children from poor families. The MP, who has allegedly been largely absent from the constituency, is said to have assembled a team to craft a strategy aimed at countering the emerging threat.

ALL IS NOT well at a state agency where staff morale has sunk to its lowest level amid growing discontent over the leadership of the acting chief executive officer.

He has further been purportedly bragging, according to multiple accounts, that his confirmation as substantive head of the agency is a foregone conclusion, claims that have only deepened anxiety and resentment among staff.

The official is accused of supposedly using threats of regulatory sanctions to blackmail targeted entities into paying so-called “protection fees” amounting to millions of shillings. Sources say the scheme has become an open secret within the sector, prompting reports to an investigative agency over the official’s alleged abuse of office, intimidation tactics and blatant disregard of the law.
