A Member of Parliament (pictured) has threatened to expose a colleague over his brazen habit of smoking bhang in the corridors of Parliament. The man has claimed that despite several requests to the legislator to man up and sober up, he has continued to be a bad influence on his colleagues as he openly smokes the big cigarette. The aggrieved MP is now threatening to petition the Speaker or raise the concern on the floor of the House.

A former senior military officer, a former spy and a powerful operative in the House on the Hill are, reportedly, marked men over claims of attempting to influence the 2022 succession. A little bird whispers to Corridors of Power that the trio has been burning the midnight oil to prop up a particular candidate despite his lack of 'stamina' to mount a serious presidential campaign. The move is said to have reached the attention of the who's who in government, who have promised to break up their racket. It’s just a matter of time until the trio are summoned and the riot act read to them.

A relative of one of the prominent politicians in Kenya has left lawmakers amused and guessing over his continued dalliance with senior government officials. Last week, when some MPs queued to see the head of a government entity, they found the relative already there. He got out to the holding room to pave the way for the MPs to meet their host. After the lawmakers were attended, as a group, the fellow went back to the office and stayed with the official for quite some time. There is speculation as to what could be cooking.

A first-term governor seems resigned to fate in regard to his reelection prospects. This is after three opinion polls he commissioned showed that he was trailing the man he succeeded. The county boss recently confided to his friends that he doesn't know what wrong he did to members of the public who are gravitating towards his predecessor. The popularity of his main rival has been rising each day, confounding the county boss and his allies. The politician he floored in 2017 landed a prime government post. It's understood that the gubernatorial leader is now considering throwing his weight fully behind one of the leading presidential candidates so that he heads one of the key state agencies that control billions of shillings, after 2022.
