Corridors of Power
By Star Team
A VOCAL POLITICIAN is reeling in pain
after one of his many wives vanished
with hundreds of millions of shillings he
had stashed in his house. The man was
overheard pleading on the phone to have
the woman traced, expressing fears she
could leave the country. The politician has
been amassing the money in his house
as the wife watched, even as he told her
he had no money to meet her expenses.
It was payback time for her, our mole
says. No one knows where she is with
the loot.

TOP PLAYERS IN a cartel that allegedly made a killing at one of the sites where the state sanctioned demolitions are broke and frustrated. They recently mobilised to attend a heavily publicised event, hoping to get audience with a big man to air their predicament. But when the moment came, the man was whisked by his aides into a waiting car that sped off, to their shock. They have been frantically trying to reach the big offices to restore their losses, all in vain.

A COUNTY CHIEF and the deputy are not seeing eye to eye. They haven’t been seen together since the governor walked out of a stormy career-threatening episode, which roped in some family members. The two now operate separately. Whenever the deputy governor goes to preside over events, the fellow claims it is with the boss’s blessings. At times the deputy delivers speeches purported to be sanctioned by the county chief. A fly on the wall whispered to Corridors of Power that the DG is just staging a show, and no longer enjoys county resources after they were drastically chopped.

A BOARD MEMBER of one of the agencies has allegedly become the errand boy of an elected politician gunning for a top county post. The man, who once held an elective position, has allegedly turned himself into a messenger, representing the gubernatorial hopeful in almost all funerals in the county. Some stakeholders were overheard wondering what value the man was adding to the crucial board owing to his permanent presence at village funerals for his politician boss.
