Still on
political alignment, a legislator from Nairobi county appears to be
seemingly strategically changing his
political affiliation. The MP from a popular hood in the city has slowed down
on supporting the administration and has taken a critical tone in the recent
months. He particularly went very hard in criticizing a critical institution,
and recently abandoned a position held by the administration in the House. With
the move, the legislator is said to be joining the “Wantam movement”.

A former
political appointee to a diplomatic job is said to be raising eyebrows in
diplomatic corridors over his insistence of using the title “Ambassador”. Those
in the know claim the former Official is allegedly either displaying ignorance
or misusing a title he did not attain. They note that just by the virtue of
serving as a diplomat does not automatically make you acquire the title.
Instead, it is a rank that is granted by the Head of State. Maybe the fellow
needs to stay guided.

A popular
politician is giving her handlers sleepless nights after a bitter family
dispute spilled into the public domain. Corridors has learnt that some
relatives of the MP are purportedly
quietly preparing for a bruising battle over a vast family empire left behind
by a wealthy patriarch. The whispers reaching our desk suggest the row goes
beyond inheritance and touches on the legislator's conduct in office, with
claims and counterclaims flying thick and fast. Insiders say some family
members are determined to seek both legal redress and public sympathy. If the
chatter in political circles is anything to go by, this could soon become one
of the most talked-about political gossip in recent times.
