A first legislator from a populous county has triggered talks among his colleagues in Parliament. Reason? The lawmaker has been begging for cash from whoever gives him a listening ear. Recently, he followed a House leader to the toilet, begging for money to attend a funeral in his rural constituency. Shockingly, the man was not concerned about who was in the lavatory at the time, as he loudly pleaded for the cash. It is not clear why the man is broke. However, some of his close colleagues say he is a spendthrift.
A former high-flying politician has resorted to alternative means of survival in what his close allies claim is to navigate economic hardships. The other day, the man was seen practising his new art – online content creation –something that left those who know him well shocked. Corridors of Power has learned that things have not been so rosy for the former moneybag, famous for his Kanu-era spending habits.
Genuinely sick or paying for his sins? This is the question that dominated online conversations recently after a video emerged of a former state official who has gone dumb, months after he left office. While some say the former powerful officer is genuinely sick, some argue otherwise. They say he is paying for his sins – allegedly stealing public cash. The man’s tenure was marred with allegations of bribery and misuse of public funds, something netizens say could be haunting him in retirement. The man has been bedridden, with politicians visiting him forced to use sign language interpreters to engage with him.
