A LAWMAKER FROM an opposition party has become the talk of town after he supposedly failed to clinch the leader- ship of an influential parliamentary committee. The man, who has been touted
by supporters of the party as an asset
because of his shrewdness in his area of
expertise, is said to be not loyal enough
to the party leader. His friends and those
who never got leadership positions in the
committee changes now reportedly accuse a party hawk close to the party leader
of settling scores using his position.
THE CABINET SECRETARY of an influential ministry is reportedly not sitting
pretty over attempts to have the official
sacked. Our mole informs us that bitter
tender wars involving high powers in
government are allegedly the main reason
the minister has come under siege. The
intrigues that are now threatening delivery and performance in critical offices in
the ministry have seen lawmakers from
the region where the minister comes from
issue stern warnings against attempts to
replace the CS. Politicians and residents
of the region are keenly waiting to see
whether the CS will be kicked out in the
much-rumoured Cabinet reshuffle.
WITH THE CONCLUSION of elections
in key parliamentary committees, a group
of influential professionals hoping for
positions in government reportedly met
to strategise on how to lobby for one of
them to be appointed. They are now torn
over where to start, given the people
they relied on in the past seem to be out
of favour at the house on the hill. The
professionals are a worried lot but hope
to be successful in their mission. Some
said they were devising a strategy to
supposedly regain influence in the current
regime, especially after their point men
were given the boot in the changes.
STILL ON LOBBYING, a private office
in one of Nairobi’s upmarket neighbourhoods is now gaining new meaning and
turning into a hive of activity following
changes in political fortunes. Those who
despised it in the past are slowly accepting the office’s role and are trooping there
with hopes of being heard and helped.
This is after it reportedly emerged that
the office is now one of the locales of
power in the current administration. State
and non-state officers have been allegedly flocking the office, underscoring its
influence in this administration.
