Is a CS from Central Kenya being tapped for DP job?

As the fight for a powerful slot gathers momentum, insiders say the script may be far from settled. Word reaching Corridors is that the PhD holder from Moi’s famous School of Politics could still have a few tricks up his sleeve. Fresh whispers suggest the man could be allegedly tempted to shake the chessboard with the thinking that reclaiming a crucial voting bloc in a vote-rich region may require a bold gamble. And what better way than bringing back a seasoned hand from the region’s “mainstream camp”? This veteran politician, who currently sits in a key agency, is said to bring in some freshness, including ties to two influential counties that could tilt the scales.

A senior government official in one of the most demanding dockets is reportedly nursing deep frustration with the people tasked with telling the public about it. Corridors has learnt the official believes his communication and media team has supposedly failed to showcase the massive workload he handles. Insiders say the boss seemingly feels his efforts in the high-pressure department are going largely unnoticed. To fix this glaring gap, the man has purportedly taken matters into his own hands. He has reportedly begun personally pushing his message across various social and mainstream platforms, keen to ensure the public hears about the work he is doing. But some officers are quietly asking whether this new strategy can last. After all, the docket is known to swallow even the most energetic of leaders whole.

A legislator is allegedly said to be quietly plotting a return to the political camp he exited only months ago. The MP had initially crossed over under pressure to align with the side believed to control development goodies and resources. However, reality seems to have hit differently. Sources whisper that upon settling into the new camp, the lawmaker supposedly discovered he was not quite the prized catch he had imagined. Two MCAs from his constituency had already established themselves within the camp’s inner circles — and one of them is now reportedly eyeing the MP’s seat in 2027. Feeling politically exposed, the MP is said to be possibly considering a quiet walk back to his former political home. Fortunately for him, bridges were never completely burned.

One presidential hopeful appears to be leaving nothing to chance as the race to State House slowly gathers shape. The ambitious contender had initially relied on professional outfits to study and project his electoral prospects. Soon after, reports highlighting his growing popularity began circulating in political circles. But lately, Corridors has noticed a new tactic emerging. Across social media platforms, a number of bloggers have started running informal polls asking Kenyans who they would vote for in 2027. Interestingly — or perhaps predictably — the same aspirant consistently comes out on top. The coincidence has raised eyebrows among seasoned political watchers. Some see it as a clever attempt to shape public perception long before the real contest begins.
