What has become of the reelection campaigns of a first-term MP from Mt Kenya? The politician has gone underground with minimal visibility in his constituency despite having been handed a ticket without any opposition in his party. It was expected that the MP would roll out aggressive campaigns to retain his seat. However, his allies are worried that the MP is yet to hit the ground running with campaigns. His main opponent, running as independent candidate, has caused a stir with his well-oiled campaigns. There are reports that the MP is in financial problems and does not have money to mount campaigns. Will the MP weather the challenge from the opponent to retain the seat? Only time will tell.

A group of MPs nearly went physical at a local club last week. The two, known for their unquenchable thirst for payoffs, are said to have differed on how to share loot which had been handed over to them for the worthy job they did in mobilising the ground for their boss. Our mole whispers to us that one of the youthful honourables was of the idea that he takes a bigger share for playing a major role and that he had spent much of his money in ensuring its success. A manager, Corridors of Power learnt, was forced to intervene to save the situation, which had already caused a standoff at the inn.

A Woman Representative is said to be publicly misbehaving with a popular secular artist displaying their romance openly despite being married in the neighbourhood. Corridors is informed that the lawmaker has been moving around with the young artist holding hands publicly, something that has left members of the public concerned about the her morality. But the unapologetic MP tells whoever cares to listen that her new love will soon be a Mheshimiwa, boasting that she will use her connections to ensure the talented artist secures a nomination to the august house.
