Governor on the spot for using county to tarmac his rural home

 A GOVERNOR IS in the spotlight after he spent millions of shillings of county funds to tarmac a three kilometre road from a shopping centre to his rural home. Residents are questioning the rationale for prioritising the project while other parts of the county are in more dire need of better roads. They are also wondering why the road, which starts at the shopping centre and ends at the county boss’s gate, does not extend to other parts of the village.

PANIC HAS GRIPPED a senior official in a key government ministry over fake academic papers. The official has worked in the ministry for several years and has been vocal on national matters. An insider revealed to Corridors of Power detectives may arrest and charge the state official anytime. But the man tries to put on a brave face, apparently counting on his wide connections to the people who matter in government.

A FIRST-TERM GOVERNOR is said to be a marked man after he publicly disparaged the broad-based government. His remarks were not received well by the who-is-who in the political arena. The county chief is now regarded as a rebel, and a top honcho is said to be planning to use the opportunity to support his confidant for the seat in the 2027 election. It is understood the rebel county boss will be kicked out in the party primaries, if he does not change his critical stand.

SHARP DIFFERENCES HAVE emerged between a county commissioner and the governor. The county chief has been openly lamenting political interference by the commissioner. He accuses the national government administrator of organising development barazas parallel to his. The governor says county administrative organs are split down the middle as a result of the commissioner’s engagement in regional politics. The county commissioner has been accusing the governor of nepotism, particularly in resource allocation and county staff recruitment.
