Corridors Of Power


FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2013 - 00:00 -- BY POLITICAL DESK
A wealthy politician from Kiambu has now hired two leading TNA candidates from Nairobi to help him in his campaigns. The politicians, who are confident that they have adequately prepared for their own election in Nairobi, have been trying to preach the message of the Uhuru six piece suit but are finding it hard going as there is resistance to the message.

The politician who shifted his base from Embakasi South to Embakasi East so as to take advantage of the ethnic composition of the latter constituency was not amused when it became known that he will not even be able to vote for himself as he is not registered as a voter there. The man now blames one of his rivals ad recently took it upon himself to mete out 'discipline' when the two politicians met at Orange House.

A senior partner in one of the political coalitions is worried that his campaign secretariat staff whose salaries he has not paid for close to a year might soon take him to court. The man is worried that if he loses his current position in the coalition, he might not have the resources to offset what he owes his staff. He is also afraid that his coalition partners might dump him if his campaign staff sue him over non-payment. For now, the man has attempted to mollify his staff by promising to pay them their dues after the elections.

Police spokesman statement during the burial of his wife over the weekend may have given the impression that he is actually preparing to run for elective office come 2017. What Owino said is that he would love to see a situation where the police service was transformed into a world class outfit so that one day he or any other policeman who decides to run for elective office will be able to cite a reformed police service as their achievement.
