Did one of the lawmakers have a social activity he had organised during the festive season scuttled in the 11th hour? We are told the MP had the activity organised in his area dogged with controversy, forcing a famous partnering entity that was the main sponsor to pull out. In the face of the disagreement with the entity, the man had to collect back all materials that had already been distributed to the participating public. In light of the happenings, funds given to the winner of the activity got reduced considerably as the broke lawmaker had to dig deeper into his pocket.

Just why has a former powerful official resorted to agitating for controversial matters that alienate large swathes of the Kenyan population? His colleagues in the sector complain that he has become notorious for relegating important issues he was known to champion to the periphery, only wanting to talk about the controversial subject all day long. Associates now fear that the man, who is senior in age and in his profession has been long suspected of engaging in those very activities, wants to formally go public about his lifestyle.

We are told a section of lawmakers cannot wait for the recess to end and resume being in or around the House. Some of them were heard complaining in a lazy banter that with the House not in operation, committees, which they say are their source of daily sustenance, cannot be convened. With committees in session, they say, they can summon big shots who allegedly don’t come before them empty handed.

Still on lawmakers’ survival, a vocal MP is bitter with a high-flying cabinet Secretary. Why? He was heard telling all who had time for him that the CS no longer picks his calls and does not reply to his messages. The lawmakers spent most days of the week last year checking in at the CS’s office and would allegedly not come out empty-handed. But for a few months now, the CS has been unavailable for him, always telling him not to come to the office and that he would call him, to no avail. May be mhesh should get another source.
