A county boss who made headlines in recent years for allegedly awarding lucrative contracts to his family is at it again. Our small bird whispers that the man has apparently gleefully handed over a multimillion-shilling tender to his mistress. This is after he was allegedly slapped with threats of exposure by the said woman whom he is cohabiting with. This has now raised eyebrows among the residents and local contractors who are threatening to revenge as it comes months after a similar controversy that forced him to revoke a contract he had allegedly awarded to his in-law.

The recent order requiring public officers owning bars or clubs to shut or resign has come as a shocker to many. Corridors is reliably told some junior cops in the city who are allegedly operating backstreet wines and spirits shops are stressed on what to do next. Some were overheard saying they have invested millions of their savings including taking loans, to open the outlets and they cannot afford to lose them. What has hit them hard is that members of the public are well aware of the ownership of these enterprises. For some, even their bosses who are expected to enforce the order are aware of this.

MCAs from Western county are grumbling in secret over the way the governor treats them whenever there is a crucial activity of interest to be undertaken at the assembly. They claim the county boss favours some ward representatives over others by supposedly offering them hefty packages yet they do the same work. There are reports that the governor has a list of his men who are paid handsomely after every assignment. Those aggrieved have vowed to teach him a lesson after several attempts to have the matter addressed failed.
