Last Friday’s court ruling nullifying the teaching certificate of Knut boss Wilson Sossion has generated excitement at the giant teachers' union. A mole familiar with the politics at Knut House whispers to Corridors of Power that some top officials of the union, who have been stoking the fire, met at a hotel in the city on Friday evening to celebrate the ‘landmark’ ruling. The officials, who have been angling to unseat the combative Sossion, said they will bank on the ruling to force a National Executive Council meeting to eject the nominated MP from the union’s top job.
Why have Education CS George Magoha and some top officials in his ministry been reading from different scripts? Twice now, the CS has come out to contradict information previously given by his officers. The latest was when Magoha appeared before a parliamentary committee last Thursday and admitted t some schools have been receiving excess textbooks. This is despite the previous declaration by the top officers that no school had received excess books. The minister then directed the books recalled and redistributed to new institutions.

Corridors of Power has it that he as been shuttling between Harambee House and State House as he intensifies behind-the-scenes lobbying amid claims he is being pushed by some quarters in government. Questions abound as to whether the NLC interviews will be objective and fair in light of reports of intense lobbying to disadvantage others.
