A TOP POLITICIAN who was previously exposed for extorting millions from jobseekers eyeing senior government positions is now under pressure once again.

A HIGH-PROFILE POLITICIAN from a sparsely populated region is causing ripples amid reports of his plans to run for governor. His move, it is argued, could disrupt clan politics in his county. The man has in the past few weeks been holding strategy meetings with opinion leaders from the county, particularly those based in Nairobi, to plan his bid. The politician is also said to be actively fundraising, reaching out to friends and well-wishers to bankroll his campaign. Reports say he has hired a PR firm to manage his image ahead of 2027. His biggest rival remains the incumbent governor, who is financially well endowed.

A WOMAN REP has triggered political speculation after falling out with the county chief. Initially, she was very close to the governor but recent events suggest they are drifting apart.

The governor, known for his ruthless political tactics, has now turned against the MP, publicly warning her to stop attacking the county government. At a recent funeral, the governor told off the MP to her face, triggering murmurs as some women walked out in protest as the county boss delivered his tirade.
