VILLAGERS IN ONE of the counties are reeling in shock after a politico lavished them with fake bank notes.

A POLITICO FROM one of the politically charged counties has triggered debate after noticeably high staff turnover at her county office.
The lawmaker, who is gunning for a top county job, is said to hire staff on very loose agreements, without valid contracts and those who ask for them are shown the door.

The man’s critics were overheard questioning whether he finds time for his official work.
