Kieleweke governors in closed-door meeting with Ruto at Hustler Centre

 

Excitement seems to have greeted Deputy President William Ruto’s camp after a group of governors who have been leaning towards President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Kieleweke wing of Jubilee Party visited Hustler Centre. An insider intimated that the county bosses held a closed-door meeting with the DP and his top strategists for more than an hour. According to the source, the meeting was a closely guarded affair. He insinuated that it is just a matter of time before they formally announce their defection to the hustler nation.

Is the government broke or who is frustrating payment of the officers who surveyed the Eastern Mau forest block?

A wealthy businessman seeking to try his hand in politics has become a source of quick cash for some MPs and officials of a popular party. The man is said to be dishing out money to the lot, ostensibly to help him secure a ticket for an upcoming by-election. In the last week alone, he has met more than 10 MPs and party officials, giving them money to convince the party boss to hand him the ticket. Last week, one MP was overheard telling a colleague to reach out to the man for cash. Interestingly, the legislator said the man was not even in the party leader’s picture for the seat.
