A fiery politician from Western has panicked after getting word that some top members of a popular party are closely watching her dalliance with a rival outfit. Corridors is told that the lady has allegedly been trying hard to get wind of what the main man in the party feels. So bad is the desperation that the woman leader is claimed to have recently stormed a private lunch meeting the big boss was having with some friends. Talk of her possible higher prospects in the 2027 election matrix is the politico’s biggest bane.

Just when will a big man give positions to all communities in an office which taxpayers are funding almost to the last cent? This is the question some lawmakers were overheard asking during a sidewalk banter over tribal hiring in the public service. The lawmakers’ concern was that even as the big man is said to be struggling to make ends meet at the establishment, he needs to sort the alleged messy tribal imbalance first. So glaring is the situation, they say, that even the lowest cadre of the jobs are purportedly held by the man’s tribesmen. Reportedly, only one officer is from another community.

A concerned citizen is wondering why police officers who were recently transferred from a station in Nairobi have returned and taken back court files that were previously under their care. The citizen has lamented to Corridors that the officers allegedly defied orders for transfers of cops who have stayed for more than three years in a station and have returned, allegedly bragging that they can't be moved. Reportedly, the two cops have taken back the probe files and are chest thumping about their manoeuvres to beat the transfers.

Are some lawmakers caught between a rock and a hard place over the impending vote on tax proposals? Well, Corridors eavesdropped into a conversation between two MPs from Mt Kenya who were reportedly expressing their dilemma over the vote. The lawmakers were literally torn between siding with their sponsoring party or the people. While they were unanimous the bill is very unpopular, they also noted that it will amount to political suicidal to go against the party wishes. In what they reportedly said is a win-win situation, the lawmakers agreed to keep off the vote session and deal with the rest as it unfolds. Corridors will be following if they make good their promise.
