The ongoing Law Society of Kenya election campaign is not drama-free as the day of reckoning nears. A lawyer engaged in the politics of the entity and reportedly backed by decent funding from a powerful establishment is maximising his endowment. With the depth of his pocket, the man reportedly convinced a group of five keyboard warriors to drop his opponent – for a transfer fee of Sh100,000. His strategy is however threatened after part of the lot sneaked back to him and renegotiated a lower figure of Sh30,000 triggering a falling out in the digital savvy team.

A top official of a crucial ministry has been sent home after his three-year contract expired. The man supposedly got a thorough dressing down at a high office recently for failing to explain what efforts he had put in place to actualise some key projects. He was reportedly seen as seemingly clueless, having not delivered any project since he took office. The man apparently showed up at the meeting without a presentation and no list of ready projects to the chagrin of the senior government official he was to compare notes with.

A female staff at one of the road agencies has panicked.
