Politician, corporate guru fighting over 'striking' woman

A simmering cold war has gripped political and corporate circles after whispers emerged of a quiet rivalry between a highly regarded professional and a politician, all over a striking woman widely described as a socialite with magnetic charm. According to insiders, the two men, both power players in their own fields, have supposedly been engaged in a quiet but vicious war. The politico reportedly claims that his opponent should sit down and see how beautiful women are taken care of. But the professional has been hitting back, allegedly insisting he is not interested in “second hand goods” and asking the lass to leave him alone. It’s said the professional is backing the politician’s detractors.

Is a popular vocal politician really okay? This is the question some of the attendants of a recent event are asking. The politician, who is known for his controversies, arrived at the event seemingly absent minded or drunk, having to be directed from his vehicle. It is alleged that the man also appeared drunk, while his physical shape was really concerning. He supposedly appeared weak having lost weight. This is, however, not the first time the health concerns are emerging as he has previously been said to be hospitalized and undergone a number of surgeries.

A political broker who is said to have political ambitions in Nairobi is trending once again for all the wrong reasons. The broker, who often hangs around senior politicians is now being accused of purportedly bullying other mourners during a recent funeral in the name of enforcing protocol and order. The aspiring legislator is allegedly even said to have  slapped a mourner and attempted to eject a popular presenter from her seat causing uproar among celebrities who attended the burial. They now ask if that’s the conduct before getting political power, what will happen if they get elected?

A senator from who has aligned with a senior politician in the United Opposition might want to take a step back and first sort out his political base. Corridors understand that the man has reportedly grown unpopular at home, and might as well be a one-term senator just as he is preaching about the opposing camp. Already, a senior politician from the region has come forward to take advantage of the growing unpopularity and is said to be eyeing the seat inn yet another political party that is gaining traction in the region. Talk of “losing four and you reach for eight”, as they say in the region.
