A GOVERNOR WHO had avoided using
the office occupied by his predecessor has
finally agreed to operate from it. This is after
the elders intervened and reconciled the
two leaders. Sources say the county boss
had allegedly insisted the office be cleansed
before he could move in, citing a fallout with
the former governor before the election. He
reportedly feared his predecessor may have
planted spirits in the office. Following the
elders’ intervention and traditional rites, the
governor has now agreed to use the office.

A POLITICAL FIGURE has ignited talk in
his circles for being too preoccupied with
a dream at the expense of an assignment
that needs immediate attention. Some of
the politician’s close allies were overheard
lamenting that their leader is not giving the
matter at hand the warranted attention, warning of negative consequences. They argue
that the situation could play into the hands of
rivals keen to make a political statement from
the same development that continues to stir
concern within political circles in the region.

CONCERNS ARE MOUNTING over the
conduct of the chairperson of a powerful
parliamentary committee, who is accused
by colleagues of purportedly paying little
attention to committee business. Sources
say the chairman allegedly spends much
of his time glued to his mobile phone, either
playing games or chatting online, even during
crucial meetings. As a result, it is said that
he rarely follows proceedings or provides
direction despite presiding over the committee. Last week, several members reportedly
expressed frustration with his leadership. A
proposal to remove him as chair was, however, shelved after it emerged that he s enjoys
close ties with powerful figures.

A FORMER POLITICAL leader has reportedly fallen out with her longtime political
kingpin amid succession battles ahead of the
2027 elections. The former MP, who has often grabbed headlines for her dramatic public
conduct, is said to have severed ties with the
influential leader after reports emerged that
he had settled on a more reserved politician
to contest a key county seat. Sources indicate the ex-lawmaker is now possibly seeking
political refuge in an opposition formation.
However, insiders say her influence in the
county has waned following the fallout with
the community’s political kingpin.
