A DELEGATE WHO was part of a mission to a foreign country is stuck there after the flight he had been booked in took to the skies without him. The politico had breached protocol and spent the night in a suburb that is a few kilometres away from the busy airport and away from where the delegation was booked. The politician switched off his phone for hours and his frustrated handlers could not locate him. There are rumours the man, known for his love for the bottle, might have gone on a wild binge that left him unable to catch the flight. This is not the first time the man has been left behind in his travels. He was caught in a similar situation last year.

A YOUTHFUL MP from a populous region is causing jitters in the camp of a senior politician as the race for the 2027 gubernatorial seat hots up. Until recently, the MP had been written off in the race to succeed the outgoing governor, until he held a major political event outside his constituency. The rally triggered political shockwaves in the county, forcing his possible 2027 main opponent to also arrange a counter-rally in his own constituency. However, things apparently took a dramatic turn when the crowds heckled the senior politician to his dismay. It has now emerged that with the county expected to witness a titanic battle, there are fears of possible clashes as the two camps gear up for the 2027 duel.

A FEMALE LEGISLATOR has triggered uproar in a political camp over unbecoming conduct. Mheshimiwa missed out on appointments made recently and has run berserk in the city seeking favours from bigwigs. In a recent event, the politician was left stranded at a Nairobi hotel where she had gone to meet a political figure with the hope of receiving ‘facilitation’. The hea- vyweight had agreed that the female politi- cian meets him at the popular hotel before rescinding his decision without alerting her. One MP was seen intervening and handing her an envelope as he drove off the venue.

A SENIOR PUBLIC officer is targeted in an expected purge after he fell out with the powers that be. The former politician clashed with a senior politician from the Rift Valley, said to be very influential. The crux of the matter is the officer had refused to meet some partners referred to him by a certain influential figure. At a city hotel, the officer was overheard telling a politician he is living on borrowed time. The officer has packed his personal effects from the office in preparation for exit.
