The politician has become morose and easily irritable lately.

The ever revolving doors of top offices have scared a section of lawmakers, vowing to flatly reject any entreaty to take up such appointments. The lot were heard saying they would rather stick to their assured seats that subsist for five years, rather than vacate them for jobs they can lose any time depending on the mood of the appointing authority or their emerging partners. With news of possible reshuffles flooding the zone, the lot says political appointments have become unpredictable and costly, with the potential of denting careers. Looks like the appointing authority will have to do extra work to get appointees with both political acumen and capacity to deliver on the dockets given the misgivings.

A PS in one of the key dockets and his aides seem to have considered themselves sitting on borrowed time. Why? Soon after the communication of the changes in government was released, an exuberated handler went online and fired two posts congratulating the boss for being retained as PS. Only that the fellow didn’t realise s/he was posting from the boss’s account. To contain the situation, the handler sent another post ostensibly of the PS himself thanking the President for re-appointing him to the docket. But the man has a reason to celebrate as the axe fell on his more prominent colleague in the ministry.

Seems a former prominent and veteran scribe has joined the “dark world”. The man who once worked with one of top dailies in the country has in the recent past been observed to be pushing narratives of certain interest. Some of the narratives come out as outright misleading or pure propaganda. Observers cannot fail to notice that the scribe is also engaging in areas he has no grasp of, signaling he is doing it at ther behest of certain interest. But as the street lingo goes, ‘you got to survive in is town’.

A former diplomat in the Uhuru Kenyatta administration is said to be a troubled man. The diplomat, who worked in one of the prestigious postings, seems to be finding it hard to settle back in the country outside the diplomatic privileges and the soft life he was used to. The man is now said to be indulging a little bit too much in a manner suggesting they are not okay. However, others who know him say he is just enjoying his retirement.
