A TOP COUNTY official in a Kenya Kwanza-led county who faces graft investigations could be staring at even deeper problems.
It has emerged that the boss man has acquired a multimillion-shilling house in the city for his side chick, apparently using taxpayers’ money.
He spends most of his weekend in the posh house located in an upmarket estate. Besides, he has acquired a fleet of high-end cars for the mistress. The official’s spouse is unaware of the husband’s ‘clande’ and the new house he acquired for her.
QUERIES ARE EMERGING about who is the boss of a certain high-profile state agency. Moles reveal that a senior official, who ordinarily should be the second-in-command at the agency, has been overshadowing his boss.

The man had been camping in the offices hosting the agency, only to be told his request had been denied. His efforts to reach out to the top bosses were futile as his phone calls went unanswered.
