President Uhuru Kenyatta has lived up to his word of not picking calls from politicians and government officials in trouble for engaging in corruption. A mole whispered to Corridors that a governor has been making frantic efforts to meet Uhuru so the big man can intervene. The governor camped in Mombasa during the President’s recent tour of the coastal region but was never given a chance to meet Uhuru. With sleuths closing in on him, the county chief is considering a trip to Singapore to secure a meeting with the Head-of-State, who is on a tour of the Asian country.
After Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i took charge of state projects through the Cabinet sub-committee, state officers sighed with relief convinced that they will no longer have politicians jamming the corridors of government offices to lobby for tenders. But this has not been the case in the face of complaints by a senior government official that some MPs have not stopped their good old habits. An MP from Mt Kenya region is notorious for moving from office to office ostensibly in the hunt for tenders. The affected offices say it will only be a matter of time before they call out the bothersome MP.
A former parliamentary aspirant in the last elections is celebrating behind the scenes over a power struggle that has rocked a County Assembly in the western part of the country. The aspirant is holding secret meetings with a section of members of the County Assembly to plot a coup in the troubled assembly. Moles also told Corridors that the plan is to make the assembly ungovernable. He is said to be lobbying at the party's headquarters to be included in the power matrix and has even dished out to some top party officials.
A senior county official in the country was recently involved in a road accident. The heavily inebriated official was in the company a married woman, who was also visibly drunk. Luckily, the two did not sustain any serious injuries when their vehicle veered of the road and landed into a ditch. A police officer told Corridors that the two, after the crash, immediately called for a breakdown services in an effort to hide the accident. It is not yet clear where the two co-workers were coming from.
