Still on the recently concluded polls of a professional group, we have been told it was a heavy money affair. Some candidates gunning for top positions reportedly joined forces and raised up to Sh25 million from senior state officials to splurge on the last week of the campaign and on voting day. Some voters are alleged to have received at least Sh5, 000 to cast the ballot for the right candidate. All they needed to do was to take a photo of the mark against the person's name and send it to the money man. Some officials had a particular dislike for a certain contender that all members of the profession in government were mobilised to vote for the favoured one to defeat the target.

Is a reshuffle imminent in a county government in the Rift valley? Well, this is bound to happen anytime going by the speculations within some offices. The spouse of the county boss, Corridors is told, is pushing hard to have her relative given a position within the executive but the governor is confused since he has no one in mind to fire. This has now sent shockwaves among the CECs as none of them is guaranteed a job. The woman is said to be so influential the husband has no option but to toe her line.
