Has a politician from Mt Kenya launched an aggressive war against a senior counterpart over unfulfilled promises? Well. There are whispers that the politico who lost in the last polls has turned against the heavyweight as the pledge remains in abeyance. The politician has recently been unleashing veiled salvos on social media targeting the big gun. Critics have pointed out that he is playing hardball to corner the bigwig into submission to actualise the promise made months ago. Whether he will succeed in his efforts is a matter that time will tell.

An opposition functionary has shocked his allies by his well-known stingy character after failing to facilitate his supporters in a fight he is facing at the moment. The supporters made frantic calls to his office asking for facilitation to an event he is taking part in, but the honcho remained tight-lipped about the issue, putting his security at risk. The supporters have vowed not to provide the man any security assistance during the upcoming demonstrations and are planning to incite some of their members to jeer the man.

Are journalists their own worst enemies? Well, this is the question among professionals in the sector in the face of the conduct of one of their own who recently shifted posts to work with a senior politician. The man is said to be sidestepping his colleagues who have remained in the mainstream by calling their bosses to command the angles stories should take. The man’s overbearing attitude has caught the attention of his colleagues who are keen to remind him about how shots are called in the game of the Fourth Estate.
