A top state official is said to be downing dozens of bottles with frothy substances ostensibly to take his sorrows away. The man has shocked those who know him for his moderation when it comes to consuming potent stuff. In recent times, the man is said to be frequenting a joint in an upmarket residence and buys not only for himself but also for any random reveler keen to benefit from his generosity. Those aware of the events say the man appears disturbed by a big matter, and could be hiding behind the brown bottle for a momentary escape.

A county chief in Western has allegedly panicked about activities of a lawmaker whose popularity is said to have grown overnight. The big man is said to be spending more time discussing the lawmaker in the various media platforms. The fellow is said to have gone slow on two other senior politicians that he initially targeted for fighting his administration. Corridors of Power is apprised that the man has whispered to his teams to frustrate the good MP at any opportune instance.

It seems a green light to pounce on bribe-taking traffic officers has caused fear among the cops. Traffic officers who used to position themselves at key stations on Nairobi roads where they would collect as little as Sh50 per PSV have conspicuously been missing. And where they are present, they are directing traffic at roundabouts. Corridors understands the police chief gave the greenlight in an attempt to improve the image of the police as the most corrupt institution in Kenya. Maybe he should also focus on the police stations and the weekend swoops mainly in Eastland areas, where his officers collect bribes upon arrest on flimsy grounds.

Drama is brewing in a political outfit over committee reorganizations in the National Assembly. A popular lawmaker plans to defy the party line to contest against the preferred candidate for a committee chairperson. The decision is bound to ruffle feathers. Word has it that the second-term lawmaker has decided to go rogue after backroom deals failed to favour him. Insiders suggest that despite warnings from party's top echelons, the MP is adamant banking on support from rival factions and disgruntled colleagues who too missed out from the recent promotions.
