A senior state official is reportedly hunting down a seasoned politician he allegedly gave Sh150 million to quietly prepare the ground for his 2027 bid. The official is eyeing a governor’s seat but supposedly fears launching early campaigns lest he be sacked from his current job. To avoid attention, he reportedly bankrolled a close ally to mobilise on his behalf. However, months after receiving the hefty cash, the politician has allegedly held only two meetings in the county. The lackluster effort has infuriated the powerful official, who has now reportedly launched a manhunt for his errant proxy.

Fear has gripped a vocal first-term governor openly opposed to the current regime after details emerged of an elaborate plot to impeach him over alleged graft and poor performance. Word on the street is that local MCAs recently held a high-level meeting at which the decision to kick him out was allegedly sealed. The county boss is said to have gotten wind of the move and is supposedly now frantically reaching out to the ward representatives to stop the ouster. However, most MCAs have reportedly travelled abroad, deepening his anxiety and political uncertainty.
