A top political leader has been spending nights in his private apartment over a domestic brawl at his official residence. The fight was prompted by the discovery he has been having an affair with some of his friends. The politician is suffering in silence after his wife ordered him to stay away from their house as she cools down her anger. The politician is putting on a brave face, hanging out "happily" with his friends but suffering in silence following the developments that have run for months now. The situation was worsened by his loss at the last election after holding the seat for a long period. He had used the job as an excuse to be away from home but now, he is not welcome at home.

A top politician who holds a top party leadership position has disowned his assistants in a deal gone sour. The politico had sent his assistants to allegedly collect almost Sh7 million from a businessman on pretext they would help him get a political post. The politician apparently even called the complainant and told him to deal with his “people”. The businessman reportedly gave the assistants the cash hoping to get the job in vain. The matter was reported to one of the police stations and is under investigation. When the politician was asked to write a statement, he denied knowledge of the issue and disowned the men who had allegedly picked up the money, despite his phone numbers proving communication among the group. Police are seeking a way forward on the matter.

A politician known for his cunning behaviour has gotten an office near a big government office for his operations. He got a posh office where he is now using to make deals and keep clients seeking to go see the big boss waiting. He has so far taken four high profile guests to the office for a show off but he did not manage to get the appointment to the intended office. Many fear he is using the office to obtain money in false pretense and has so far instructed security there not to allow anyone to the premise without his consent. Recently, he was seen with more security officers trailing him amid reports he could be targeted by those he has conned.
