Desist, Tribal Politics Can Burn Country - Kibwana Warns Politicians


Makueni governor Kivutha Kibwana has urged politicians not to balkanize the country through tribal politics ahead of 2022 general elections.

Speaking at Masinga during the burial of Machakos senator Boniface Kabaka that was also attended by deputy president William Ruto, Kibwana regretted that politicians were using funerals and other platforms to whip up emotions and divide the country along tribal lines.

The governor said this posed a danger to the country as it was a powder keg for chaos. 

"It is regrettable that politicians are taking us back to tribal politics. If we are going to encourage politics of tribe then we are doomed," Kibwana said. 

He noted that the country needed a unity of purpose to propel it to greater heights.

"Let us see far, and ask ourselves how do we take the country forward. We don't want a tribal country," the governor noted. 

Kibwana remembered the late Kabaka as an astute student of law and an accomplished lawyer who spoke his mind without fear while defending the rights of his electorate and Kenyans. The governor revealed that he taught Kabaka law at the  university, saying that from an early age, the fallen senator was destined for great things. 

He urged Kabaka's children to commit themselves to education like their father. 

"Be committed to education like your father and you will go far," advised the governor.

Governor Malombe Hogs Public Limelight for Best Performance

Image
By Our Reporter   When Kitui county residents went to the polls and elected Governor Julius Malombe, they were looking for a development conscious person who would lift the county from the bottomless pit where it had been thrown by Kaluki Ngilu and her bandits. Overwhelmingly, the county residents voted for Dr Malombe and ignored the other pretenders who were soiling the governor's ballot paper. And today the county residents are being vindicated. Governor Malombe is being cited among the very top governors across the country in terms of performance, just one year down the line. In the very latest opinion poll conducted by Infrotrak, Governor Malombe has posted an above average rating of 63%, a strong signal that the county is in safe hands. And the residents are excited.  "By the Time Infotrak releases another Survey, Kitui will have risen two-fold. We are done with the obstacles of development. For the next one year we shall sail through. It will be Kyuma leading the park .F

County Assembly opts to Become Partner in KITUI's Development

POINT BLANK   Our Reporter   Slightly over one year after Governor Malombe was recalled to office by the county electorate, tangible developments and growth can be witnessed in all corners of the vast County.  Governor Malombe is trying hard, in the most difficult economic times which are characterized by delayed disbursement of county allocations from the national government, to repair the County that had been torn apart and grounded by the previous mbee nzei regime.  For his efforts to transform people's lives through initiating tangible developments, the County residents in their hundreds of thousands have decided to rally behind Kyuma Kya wia, as they fondly refer to their Governor.  The County administration has rolled out a development plan that touches all the 40 Wards of the vast County without discrimination. Some of these life changing projects touch on water security, food security, health provision, roads upgrading, ECDE classrooms and staffing of ECDE centres, investme

It is Dr Malombe's Land - Evidence Shows

Payment of land rates   No Criminal Encroacher should attempt to Grab Dr Malombe's legally acquired land Our Reporter   Governor Julius Malombe, as a private citizen, has the legal rights to own land anywhere in the Country. The fact that he owns a parcel of land within Kitui Municipality should not be a strange thing to anyone. However, what is concerning is when another individual attempts to criminally encroach on and grab Dr Malombe's piece of land, in the hope that he will keep quiet just because he is the governor. This is the most warped thinking ever, and it is anchored on blackmail.  The plot in question is legally owned by Dr Julius Makau Malombe. It was legally allotted to him over 30 years ago. And as a law abiding citizen, Malombe has been faithfully and legally paying land rates for the said piece of land since that time to date! The fact that he has not developed that piece of land is not a licence for greedy individuals to try to grab it.  Siasa playing politics
