Talking of overbearing bosses, the chairperson of a crucial parastatal dealing with highly-priced goods is accused of staging an illegal takeover at the agency he was appointed to recently. The man is said to have pushed out the top manager under the pretext of a compulsory leave, without the requisite approval of the board. The fellow is said to have assumed executive power at the organisation contrary to the rules. While chairpersons are barred from wielding executive power, the man allegedly reports to the parastatal’s office daily. He reportedly summons board meetings and runs the entity on a day-to-day basis.

Is it just insecurity or inferiority complex that is unsettling the spouse of a key public figure? This is the question in the minds of colleagues and associates. Reportedly, the spouse has been careful to remind everyone interacting with his high-flying wife that the woman is his and should be handled with that in mind. Disgustingly, the man picks up the calls of those who look for the woman past 8pm, frothing in rage. The insecure man allegedly caused a scene at a public function when he stood up to a male colleague of the popular woman who was talking to her, demanding to know what the conversation with his wife was about.

An ambitious governor in Western whose rising star has been possible courtesy of a well-oiled public relations campaign is allegedly irking the electorate with stinginess. Unlike the first county chief of the devolved unit, who was generous in dishing out money to residents and in fundraising events, the current one supposedly ensures that expenditure in all dockets is examined and approved by the governor’s office. One of the top county officials was recently overheard lamenting how he would have not left his former job to only come and read newspapers and drink tea in a posh office.
