The man, who has not been seeing eye to eye with most of his colleagues from the region, has reportedly started mending fences. Recently, he reached out to one of his political ‘enemies’ and begged for forgiveness. While some say he’s genuine in his latest reconciliation move, others say he is seeking a truce because of his political ambitions. The man has set his eyes on a top county seat and his colleagues from the region, including senior government officials, are seen as the stumbling block to his bid.

An MCA from an urban county has sparked disquiet in his rural county in the Western region. The filthy rich ward rep is said to be eying a county seat in his rural home in 2027. He has been frequenting the place, meeting groups and dishing out huge cash. The move has caused disquiet in the county, with the governor said to be the most disturbed. The county boss has now unleashed a team of bloggers to portray the MCA as a ‘wash wash’ cartel member who has come back home to clean his dirty cash.
