IS A FORMER governor who landed an
‘inferior’ job in the government considering
quitting? Well, Corridors understands that the
ex-powerful county chief is allegedly unhappy with the remuneration and the benefits
at the new agency. His attempts to ‘earn an
extra’ coin have reportedly been frustrated by
the board. The man is now said to be seriously considering resigning from the position,
which he landed after waiting for many months. He is now eyeing a parliamentary seat in
his rural county.

A YOUNG MISTRESS who reportedly replaced a retiring secretary of a second-term
governor from Rift Valley has raised eyebrows
with her approach to the job. She has implemented her own strict set of rules for anyone
seeking an audience with the governor. You
either comply or are turned away. Residents
used to freely accessing the office now find
themselves locked out, fuelling speculation
about whether her strictness will salvage the
governor’s dwindling reputation or accelerate
his decline. Perhaps someone should remind
her that politics thrives on accessibility and
goodwill, not rigid gatekeeping.

WE RECENTLY TOLD you about an intense and long-standing infighting between two
senior officials within a particular ministry.
The power struggle was reportedly so fierce
that it severely hampered the implementation of a critical national programme. Well, if
you thought the recent reshuffle had resolved the situation, think again. Our sources
in the ministry whisper that the tensions
have merely shifted rather than disappeared.
Some staff members were overheard saying
they would rather “stick with the devil they
know than an angel they don’t”. They are
sceptical about the new leadership and fear
the changes may only bring fresh chaos.

AN MP IN a county in Nyanza is at a
crossroads over his gubernatorial ambitions.
The lawmaker believes the dominant political
party in the region might not give him the
ticket. The party has earned notoriety for not
conducting free and fair party nominations.
The legislator believes he has huge support
on the ground to unseat the incumbent, who
is accused of not initiating meaningful development projects. Last week, pictures reportedly emerged of the governor and a high
profile man in what appeared to be a private
meeting, raising the man’s temperatures. The
MP is unsure whether the current powers will
allow him to ride on the grassroots support he
enjoys to be the county boss.
