Word reaching Channel 15 News’ Corridors of Power is that a former Kitui County Government public relations officer turned MC was reportedly forced to run for his life during a weekend UDA empowerment event after a payment dispute with a sitting politician allegedly turned physical.
The former county official, who recently resigned, is said to have sought clarification over money he believed was still owed to him. The politician reportedly maintained that the payment had already been made.
What followed is now the subject of animated whispers in Kitui’s political circles, with claims that the exchange escalated into a slap that nearly knocked the former official off his feet.
But the alleged confrontation was only the beginning of the drama.
Journalists who had gathered at the event, reportedly waiting for their facilitation fees, are said to have scattered when tempers flared. In the ensuing commotion, two local scribes allegedly fled so hurriedly that they left their shoes behind.
In this political drama, it appears even the footwear could not keep up with the speed of the exit!
But beneath the alleged slap and the missing shoes lies the question stirring the corridors: had the disputed money already been paid, as reportedly claimed, or was there more to the payment saga than met the eye?
For now, the identities remain under wraps, the claims remain unverified, and the alleged shoe drama has added a curious twist to Kitui’s political gossip mill.
