Was a top public official caught off guard by a recent controversial visit to the country? Well, Corridors understands the official was reportedly forced to issue several statements clarifying the nature of the visit, while arrangements were being made directly at a higher office.

Allies of a key opposition official are allegedly increasingly getting worried by the lackadaisical nature of their boss, even as the 2027 politics gain momentum. Despite years of experience in government and in politics, the politico appears laid back, to the extent that a new face in the opposition group appears to be the one pushing him, even in his own backyard. While some suggest the man could be struggling with finances, they are wondering why the man is not using available platforms to push for his agenda for 2027.

Nepotism remains a key challenge in Kenya’s public service. However, this seems to extend to even regional offices. For instance, a small bird has whispered to Corridors that a former nominated senator reportedly secured a job for her sister in a regional organization. What is even more concerning is the lack of qualification for the role she is undertaking. The lady is a beautician and the job she was given is in administration and operations. Speak of exporting bad manners.
