WHY IS A crucial agency not communicating with members of the public through one of its digital outlets? This is the question some stakeholders who frequently interact with the system were overheard asking themselves at a joint. The lot said the system has been down for several weeks yet holds crucial information for their daily use and to showcase the agency’s activities. We gather that the issue was internet connectivity but that was several weeks ago. Maybe the agency is facing many crises that can’t let it focus on the glitch.

DID STATE FUNCTIONARIES reach out to relatives of a popular regional politician for redress on events, which played out in public places recently? Well, Corridors of Power is apprised about the meeting whose details were heavily guarded. A senior official hosted the meeting and privately apologised for the “embarrassing incident”. The officer reportedly gave unreserved assurances there would be no repeat. What the family is grappling with is whether there will be an intervention to have the matter dropped after the apologies.

A BUDDING POLITICAL figure is reportedly the talk of professionals at an agency charged with public communications. The politico is alleged to have misled his followers with an instrument that was heavily circulated on social media spaces. A fly on the wall at the entity whispered to Corridors that such materials are not just put out easily. They characterised the events as a ‘fake it till you make it’ type. A special team is usually formed to consider such communications before they are reportedly shared with members of the public.

A WARD REP who has been acting as a liaison between a governor and the assembly was recently forced to lock himself in a toilet after the proverbial ‘40 days of a thief’ came. The man, unbeknown to many, has been obtaining money from the county boss in the name of whipping his colleagues to support the executive’s causes. He has not been delivering. In a recent incident, he received some cash but only distributed a fraction. Enraged members, having reportedly received a tip-off, pursued him around the building, demanding the money.
