A SENATOR IS said to be considering withdrawing a bill he has sponsored after it supposedly emerged that the proposed law may ruin his governor bid in 2027.
The bill has reportedly sparked uproar among the youth in the senator’s home area and many believe the damage is already done, whether he withdraws the proposed law or not.
The county boss, who will be seeking a second term, has capitalised on the matter.
He has been campaigning, calling the senator a selfish leader and a non-performer with no track record.

An enterprising woman from one of
the counties is reportedly among aspiring
candidates for one of the most difficult jobs
in the country.
The woman has already been
shortlisted for the job.
However, she is likely
to face difficult questions as she is allegedly
on the EACC radar over a suspected tender
irregularity in one of the counties.
She will
be hard-pressed to respond to conflict of
interest accusations before the panel.

A STATE OFFICIAL who was removed
from his position and reassigned to a less
prestigious one abroad has reportedly been
the talk of town.
The man, whose aloofness
does not surprise many, is accused of not
using his position to endear himself to the
people, unlike his political mentor who was
a former popular politician.
Those who have
interacted with him say the official is overly
formal and does not entertain political small
talk that would result in tokens of appreciation, unlike his counterparts.
A journalist who
allegedly interacted with him said it is indeed
difficult to pick him out from a crowd of five
people as he rarely speaks in public, even in
his own mother tongue.

A FORMER TOP official of a big party
recently decamped to a little-known outfit
following his party’s pact with an opposition
formation.
The politician now moves from
one media outlet to the next castigating the
very government he supported before the
broad-based arrangement.
He is allegedly
said to have fallen out with a powerful PS
whom he accuses of sidelining him.
Afraid
that he would lose perks he was reportedly
receiving from the generous state official, the
politician bolted and opted to attack anyone
supporting the government.
Observers are
however not surprised by his move because,
they argue, what motivates him is having his
pockets loaded and not political ideology.
