Who is this principal secretary from Mt Kenya who was recently forced to cancel a secret meeting at his Nairobi residence after details leaked? The PS, who is said to be eyeing a gubernatorial seat in the home county, had invited close allies and bloggers for a private strategy session. However, unknown to him, a mole within the group leaked the plans. Soon after, information about the meeting was widely shared in local WhatsApp groups by bloggers allied to the incumbent governor, exposing the PS’s political manoeuvres. Frustrated by the betrayal, the PS was overheard lamenting he would rather work with a few loyal individuals than “a hundred pretenders”.
