Past actions have come back to haunt a senior government official. On a recent fact-finding mission in Kiambaa, Kiambu, the man, who was in the company of three high-ranking officers, expressed regret that his office was used for bad politics in an attempt to frustrate Deputy President William Ruto. A mole who eavesdropped on their conversation says things have been so bad. The man has been contemplating relocating to Europe should Ruto ascend to the presidency in the August 2022 polls. However, he is also contemplating a plan B—mending fences with the DP. He is said to have listed a governor and a senator from his county and a vocal MP from Rift Valley to lead the truce mission.

Who will blink first? That is the question staff at a parastatal in the energy sector are asking themselves. Word has it that there is a standoff occasioned by an alleged mad rush by some board members with powerful connections whose terms are coming to an end. A source at the corporation says while the rogue members are pushing for some business deals, the management has resisted the dirty schemes, which insiders say is meant to syphon millions of taxpayer money.

A recent announcement by a governor from Rift Valley that he had made an international breakthrough of monumental benefit to the local farmers has landed him in trouble. It has emerged that the deal might have been a hoax after all. Some locals took it upon themselves and investigated. They have since discovered that there is no such deal between the county government and the alleged country in the Middle East. Who is fooling whom in the whole circus that could put the county boss in trouble with the electorate?

What is a managing director of a parastatal up to? A source in the know has whispered to Corridors that the man recently seconded 30 young men for high-skill combat training and 10 of them are now guarding him round the clock. Staff in the parastatal are shocked that the MD, who has a year left before his contract ends, is now being driven around in a motorcade comprising a chase car, his official car in the middle and an escort car full of armed men trailing behind. Staff say the bodyguards intimated to them that at least two of them, armed with AK-47 guns, are always on standby even when the MD visits a washroom. In the morning while reporting to work, every staff member is thoroughly frisked by the armed guards.
