Jairus Musumba, the acting Nairobi City County Secretary is a man under siege.
His plans to extend his tenure at City Hall now faces a major hurdle after the position was re-advertised for the selection of a permanent nominee.
Insiders say that Musumba, who does not meet the required qualifications, lives in deep fear of losing the job and is always willing to bribe county officials to delay the advertising of the position.
This has enabled him to continue serving in an acting capacity.
Some have been quoted describing him as grossly inept and lacking in experience on administrative matters.
But this time around, he has run out of luck in his game.
His past crimes committed during the reigns of former governors Mike Sonko and Ann Kananu seem to have finally caught up with him.
Sources say Musumba was misused by Sonko and Kananu to change a number of committee minutes to facilitate suspicious payments to a number of law firms and pending payment.
One time, Musumba was forced to jump through his office window after CID officers raided him.
It is said by then, Musumba was hiding wads of cash in the office and had no option but to flee.
His dark past is proof enough that he is simply a crook who does not meet leadership and integrity standards as prescribed in chapter six of the constitution.
