A senior Member of Parliament (pictured) from Rift Valley is a man on the run after his past sins caught up with him. The MP eyeing a gubernatorial seat is petrified following revelations that detectives are going after his property in the Milimani area of Nakuru. The properties are said to have been fraudulently acquired from contractors to fix a political deal. The MP who has fallen out with professionals and leaders from his county over his penchant for propaganda, has confided to close friends that the going is getting tougher. He is now perilously stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea. Will he get out of this mess?

A Principal Secretary eyeing a gubernatorial seat in the 2022 general election is now being chided for his miserly and stingy ways. Trouble began when the PS, who is seeking to dethrone his first-term governor, assembled a bunch of political brokers at a low-key joint in the city to articulate his agenda but he fell short of expectations. The political greenhorn further stewed in his own soup after he failed to reimburse for transport and bumbled through his supposed agenda to the dismay of his would-be disciples. The man is said to be lacking in charisma, wit and pockets to charm his way into politics .

Politics is a dirty game, so it said. A key pillar in one of the popular political movements is in his element. The MP, known for bad-mouthing his colleagues, is said have become a major concern in the camp. The politician’s language is said to have caused some concern among the top members of outfit with colleagues calling for action. In one of the stopovers during a recent political rally, the legislator used vulgar language to refer to his colleagues in the opposing camp. A source has told Corridors of Power that there have been efforts cautioning him against the use of his unbecoming language to no avail. The concern is that every time he speaks, he causes his camp to lose support.
