A SENIOR MP with close links to power has
reportedly struck it rich. The MP has now allegedly
built a helipad in his house with a chopper being
his most preferred means of transport. During a
tour of his constituency recently, the MP used
his chopper to traverse the electoral area. Many
are wondering how he is also said to be getting
millions that he is allegedly donating during public
harambees in parts of the country. The high-profile harambees have sent shock waves among
his 2027 competitors who fear that it would be
impossible to unseat him given the massive resources he has. Whether he will sustain the mojo
to 2027 is a matter that time will tell.

WORD IS A former seasoned lawmaker
has been left nursing bruised egos after being
snubbed in the interim leadership positions of a
political party that was launched recently. The
man, who severed his ties with former political formation and known for loyalty that borders on blind
faith, was allegedly missing from the list, despite assurances that he will be one of the key figures in the
new entity. He was said to be one of the backers
when the idea of the new outfit was first flouted.
Murmurs are rife that the man may reconsider his
future. This column will keep an eye as the matter
unfolds.

IT’S ALLEGED THAT one of the key ministries
lost Sh275 million to fraudsters. A female operative
who works in a big office and hails from the Mt
Kenya region reportedly carried out the heist.
The woman, in collusion with some lawyers and
ministry insiders, wired the cash, which was in one
of the ministry’s idle account to an Arab nation.
The cash was wired back to Kenya and into the
accounts of some lawyers based in Nairobi. The
lawyers claim to have won a landmark ruling in a
case involving key figures in a critical office and
a leading business. However, those in the know
say the case is a fake and it was just a scheme to
swindle the government cash.

MCAS IN ONE of the counties have warned
the deputy governor against trusting the county
chief ahead of the 2027 election. An insider said
the ward reps convened a secret meeting where
they told the DG how the governor promised them
ward fund, tenders, employment of some of their
supporters and many others but instead, appointed their key competitors as ward administrators
and ward coordinators. The ward leaders are said
to have advised the DG to have a plan B, as the
governor will dump him way before the polls.
