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.
