Corridors of Power

A controversial politician from arid areas is a man under siege.

The politician's two firms that have allegedly been winning plum tenders in the same county are under investigations by state agencies.

This is after it emerged that the firms were allegedly irregularly awarded tenders worth millions of shillings despite having been kicked out at the technical evaluation stage.

Fast-forward, the man has allegedly been moving from one office to the other seeking help but to no avail.

With state agencies having tightened the noose, it is only reportedly a matter of time before his prosecution could be nigh. 

***********************

A former woman representative is aggressively lobbying to get a senior government job that was recently advertised.

The former MP has allegedly been moving from one office to the other trying to seek help from senior government officials who can influence the recruitment process.

Whether she will succeed or not is a matter that only time will tell.

In the meantime, the politician has allegedly whispered to her friends that the post could be available soon given the effort that she has put in including resources. 

***********************

A top executive of a state agency allegedly faces tough times ahead after his godfather was edged from the corridors of power.

The officer had been reportedly bragging how he will not be fired given his close links to a big man.

He had even allegedly refused to pick calls from some government officials saying he had nothing to do with them.

However, after the political shock that rocked the country in the recent past, he has been allegedly reaching out to top government officials.

The grand question is whether the man will survive the test of time. Only time will tell.

***********************

Still with matters of state agencies, an influential executive from a region critical in the country's political dispensation has allegedly sent shockwaves.

The officer has allegedly told those who care to listen that his term will be extended once the board sits next month despite dismal performance.

There were alleged indications that he had performed poorly after one of the board members came out in the public calling for his ouster.

However ever since the member, a former MP called for the termination of his contract, he almost immediately went under. He has suddenly become the officer's biggest cheerleader.
