A popular cleric from one of the churches in Western Kenya shocked congregants after sending obscene pictures to a church WhatsApp. As if things had conspired against the man of cloth, regarded highly amongst the flock, his attempts to delete the pornographic content before members noticed failed as he only deleted for himself and not for everyone, as was his intention. Church members who are yet to get over the incident are now wondering how such high obscene content could find its way into the pastor's phone.

Is there vicious infighting at a cosmopolitan county? Well, Corridors of Power is informed of a rebellion by MCAs aligned to governor’s party who claim they have been turned into a doormat by the county chief, who has instead gone flat out to appease rival party MCAs. So bad is the situation that the governor has planned a hasty retreat to whip the MCAs most of whom no longer pick his phone calls. The MCAs complain that while their counterparts are eating with a big spoon, they have been left on their own despite their man being in the driving seat.

Still on the devolved units, an MCA known for his straight talk caused a storm after it merged that the assembly could not afford to print order papers despite engaging in a multimillion-shilling elevator project, which many representatives believe is not a priority. The complaint is not only from the honourable members, but also suppliers who have stopped dealing with county assembly. The house leadership is now a matter for debate along the corridors of the assembly, with most members questioning its priorities.
