A UNIVERSITY BOSS is about to have it rough if the whispers of fierce resistance by a section of the staff are anything to go by. The recently installed high-flyer is allegedly ramming through a series of deep-cutting reforms that are feared could slash hundreds of jobs. Big Boss had a slight taste of the resistance after a section of the dons walked out on him, complaining that he was talking down on them and had not sought their views before instituting the changes. The road ahead for the ambitious man is bumpy and he must buckle up tight.

ARE SOME MPs from a certain political party determined to occupy a coveted position as they would want everyone to believe? Some of their colleagues were heard saying the party is the weak link in that battle as they are already too entrenched in government to make good their threat.

IS IT A genuine change of heart or apprehension over dipping popularity ahead of 2027? That is the question on the lips of handlers of a big politico from a high stakes region who has been overtly critical of a recent political settlement. The well-known career politician has been posturing as pro-people in fiery speeches but insiders think he fears his chances are dwindling and he needs a fresh plan. He had wished to have a top politico from his region remain in confrontational politics, as this would have shored up his chances. But that is now water under the bridge and he must change tack.

THAT MCAs HAVE been in the news for a long time agitating for better pay is not new. Maybe they should be pampered a little more. But the behaviour of some in a famous county is now beneath their office. The lot has developed a habit of extorting anyone who appears before them. Apart from being on a weekly retainer from the governor, the county legislators openly demand for money from witnesses, sometimes resorting to blackmail.
