CONTRACTORS IN A county in Mt Kenya who thrived
during an ex-governor’s reign are up in arms against the son of the current
county boss. They blame the young man for their woes, accusing him of
influencing the award of tenders to outsiders. Popularly known as “prime
minister” within the governor’s power circles, the man’s decision is said to be
final. He is also known to terrorise anyone standing on his way to the county
coffers.

IS THERE A power tussle in the communication team at
a key public address? We are told players in the team claim equal powers and
this has jeopardised efficiency. While a famous media personality is the known
face of the unit, some players of the same ethnicity as the boss dominate the
team, often countermanding the decisions the personality makes. The team has
always been caught flatfooted in the communication and public perception war,
with most of its initiatives reactive and not well thought through. Even worse,
we are told the big man has created the multiple centres of power on purpose as
a way of controlling them.

A NOISY PROFESSIONAL is not happy that his campaign
to have some judges removed from office over alleged graft and incompetence has
failed to gather support and momentum. The man, who had gone ahead to print
shirts with caricatures of some of the judges, has been accused of being used
by certain government institutions to have the judges removed for political
expediency. The pain of the activist has been catalysed by social media users,
who are now pulling old newspaper articles to depict him as someone who has
earned notoriety in fighting top judges not friendly to him.

ANXIETY IS MOUNTING in a county in Western after a
governor reappointed an adviser he had parted ways with earlier. The official
has been telling staff that he is back to deal with those who disrespected him,
among them the county secretary and a chief officer. The man has also vowed to
ruthlessly deal with the deputy governor. Since his return, the official has
been insisting he only reports to none other than the governor.
