A top state officer has angered a section of MPs. Reason? The officer recently turned away the lawmakers who had paid him a visit. He reportedly instructed his handlers not to allow the MPs as they had no prior appointment. The alleged move irked the lawmakers who are contemplating making life difficult for him. Reportedly, they want the man’s conduct discussed on the floor in what may expose his dirty linen. They have pledged to go to any length to ensure the man is kicked out.

A female aide to a top government official is in the eye of a storm. She is purportedly being investigated for corruption by EACC. It is claimed that the lady is earning two government salaries. Reportedly, one is from her former ministry, where she is said to be under protection of a controversial director in the office of the government official. Those in the know claim her alleged relationship with the current boss is also very curious and extends beyond work.

A handler of a county official in Mt Kenya is the talk of town. The dreaded man, who is close to his boss, allegedly uses the county official’s official car to go to nightclubs. The officer believed to be super rich, has developed a habit of allegedly harassing revellers whenever he visits the clubs. Recently, he reportedly brandished a gun on some revellers who had confronted him for his unbecoming behaviour. The man is very powerful due to his proximity to the county boss. It is unclear whether the county official is aware of his aide’s conduct, but some say it is a matter of time before the man’s habit is made public.

A politico from Western who was allegedly eyeing financial support of a bigwig from the region has been forced to seek alternatives. Rumour has it that the figurehead seeking to remove a governor is said to have purportedly run to a relative after the supposed sponsor abandoned ship. The relative, also in a high place, has reportedly awarded the politico big tenders, from which the fellow seeks to raise billions. The ambitious politico’s next headache, insiders say, is to get a ticket for the race. It is understood that the bigwig, who was to bring the money, was also to facilitate the ticket.
