The paranoia exhibited by a vocal city lawyer, in the last two months has become the talk of town.
Best known for his vocal defence of the opposition chiefs in TV interviews and social media, the controversial advocate always walks around with a loaded pistol.
Everywhere the lawyer goes he carries the firearm with him.
Recently a TV journalist who was preparing the learned friend for an interview during prime time news nearly screamed, after she saw the gun tucked under the waistband of his trousers.
The lawyer proceeded with the interview unfazed, after explaining that he has to protect himself against his enemies!
Elsewhere on the Grapevine
Could a Governor who was re-elected on an opposition party ticket from Western Kenya be mulling to join Jubilee?
Tired from being constantly harassed by party stalwarts in the county who reportedly take instructions from the party boss, a little birdie has intimated to Grapevine that the patience of the Governor won thin.
The officials reportedly demand hand-outs from the Governor and compel him to fund all the activities of the opposition coalition in the region.
Strategists of the county boss it is understood, have been egging the Governor to jump ship, on the grounds that his party boss can do nothing since Jubilee controls the county assembly and he won’t be contesting for the same seat in 2022, after doing the stipulated two terms.
