THEY SAY WHEN it rains it pours. Looks like the creator of this aphorism may have had people like a certain ex-MP in mind.

The man invested heavily in the last election, hoping to make a return for one last term.

After failing, he relocated to a cosmopolitan county where he opened a big club hoping to quickly recoup the money he lost.

However, luck was not on his side. His club manager squandered the profits, forcing the investor to shut down the business.

Our small bird now whispers that his hoarded wealth has diminished.

Those close to him liken his current situation to that of a chicken caught in the rain.

UST WHAT ARE two lawmakers who have been the subject of a huge political debate up to?

A little bird whispers to Corridors of Power that the two are supposedly making grand moves to secure their political future.

Word is that it won’t be surprising if they cut a new niche outside the umbrella they are currently under.

It is claimed the lawmakers have decided they won’t look back, despite the warning signs they have been given in their latest political adventures.

POLITICIANS CAN BE so desperate especially when eyeing top jobs in government.

A former long-serving politico from Rift Valley, who lost the seat by a slight margin, has become the proverbial drooling hyena.

Sources have told Corridors of Power the man sponsored a delegation of church leaders and elders from his village to come all the way to Nairobi to meet a certain Cabinet Secretary.

He has reportedly set his eyes on a job in one of the parastatals after it emerged the current officeholder is retiring in the next one month. Will he succeed? A man can try.

**********

IS THE KENYA Urban Roads Authority aware of a huge gaping pothole on Landhies Road outbound, just after the Kenya Meat Commission outlet, that exposes motorists to grave danger?

Frequent users were overheard lamenting the road has many manholes which usually take ages before they are fixed.

They grumble further that the road, which is one of the main arteries in the city, has derelict signage and appears to have been forgotten by the authorities.
