A head of one of the top state agencies could soon face the anti-graft agencies. Reason? Angry stakeholders have accused the officer of allegedly overseeing the wanton ‘theft’ of the agency’s properties. The stakeholders claim the official has purportedly engineered illegal leasing of prime properties belonging to the agency, including parcels of land. Speculations are that, he supposedly pockets millions of shillings in the process. The stakeholders are now threatening to petition the anti-graft agency to probe the officer's illegal leasing of state-owned properties.

It appears that a relative of a state corporation’s boss has gotten on the nerves of people close to his family. The fellow is accused of using the top boss’ position to allegedly obtain money by false pretence from unsuspecting members of the public. Corridors of Power is told the fellow supposedly takes the money on the pretext of handing those in contracts like renovations and supply jobs. Recently, the fellow was reportedly given Sh1 million to ‘facilitate a tender’ but has since gone off air, hence cannot be reached on the phone.

Some politicians from an opposition party is happy that a bigwig has given little focus to a key campaign in favour of local issues. A legislator from the area was overheard saying they were purportedly ready to facilitate anyone who would distract the politician from the foreign bid. They are allegedly waiting with bated breath to see if members of their party would be handed top government jobs in the clamour for a broad-based government. The MP says their political life depends on the successful formation of the national unity government.
