HAS AN INFLUENTIAL governor fallen out with a senior MP from his county? The county boss, who allegedly warmed up to the MP following the rapprochement between President William Ruto and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, is not seeing eye to eye.

It has now emerged that the two no longer enjoy the cosy relationship they had some time last year when a top political leader brokered their reconciliation. Some are apparently worried that the latest fallout could see a return to chaos witnessed across the county in the past.
