EMPLOYEES OF A government institution are at war with the management over
non-payment of allowances. After months of
demanding their dues, the officers have been
informed they will not be paid. They accuse
the management of deliberately obstructing
payment, despite their dedicated service to the
institution. The group is preparing to petition
higher authorities—an action that could expose troubling practices within the organisation,
which is already struggling to maintain its
reputation. It remains unclear whether the management will address the pay dispute before
it escalates.

TENSION IS MOUNTING within a state
agency amid allegations of high-handed
leadership by the officer currently at the helm.
Insiders claim he has supposedly halted all
official travel for staff members, except for
himself and a close circle of loyalists. Numerous
travel clearance requests reportedly remain
pending on his desk, with sources suggesting
he is deliberately delaying their approval. It is
further alleged that the officer, who travels almost monthly, has redirected funds earmarked
for staff travel to his office. Sources also claim
the agency is now grappling with pending bills
stemming from the boss’s frequent and costly
international trips.

A LAWMAKER KNOWN for his persistent
criticism of his county governor appears to
have made an unexpected about-face. Once
a vocal opponent, he has now emerged as
a staunch defender of the leader. Sources
familiar with the matter suggest the two have
reached a political deal that could see them exchange positions in the next polls. Their newfound alliance has unsettled contenders, who
had been positioning themselves to succeed
the governor, whose term concludes in 2027. A
titanic political battle is looming in the county.

AN AIDE OF a governor has reportedly
become a powerful wheeler-dealer, brokering
multimillion-shilling deals behind the scenes.
Described as no-nonsense and highly influential, he acts as the governor’s gatekeeper,
controlling access to the county chief. Insiders
allege he has been pocketing significant sums
from prospective investors and businesspeople
seeking an audience with the governor. Those
who fail to meet his demands are allegedly turned away. Despite multiple complaints about
his conduct—complaints that have reportedly
reached the governor—his alleged extortion
scheme rolls on unchecked. This has raised
suspicions he may be acting with the knowledge, or even on behalf, of the county boss.
