Prof. Kibwana To Run For Makueni Senator's Seat

Prof Kibwana

Makueni governor Kivutha Kibwana has finally shelved his presidential ambitions and focused his eyes on capturing the county senate seat.



Our desk can today authoritatively report that Kibwana, who has served his two terms as governor will be going for the senate seat, currently held by Mutula Kilonzo Jnr.



Our resident moles in Makueni who are close to the outgoing governor indicate that already a chilling warning has been sounded to Mutula Jnr to get something else to do or perish in the wilderness after the coming polls on August 9.



"Yes he is going for that seat and I can assure you Makueni residents will vote for him overwhelmingly. He wants to continue fighting for devolution but this time at the Senate after successfully running the county as governor for two terms," revealed one of our moles. 



Kibwana's decision has left the current senator at cross roads not knowing whether to defend his seat and wait to be made  minced meat by Kibwana or run for the governor's seat as advised by some of his Facebook supporters. 



Our sources indicate that Mutula Jnr is not keen on running for the governor's seat since he is not assured of victory due to his lack of Strong grassroot networks. 



The governor's seat has attracted political bigwigs such as Professor Philip Kaloki, Kibwezi West MP Patrick Musimba, the county woman Rep Rose Museo as well as Pastor cum lawyer Mbevi. Some in Mutula's corner are also nudging him to give it a shot. 



"That boy will be a mince meat for Kibwana should he insist on defending the senator's seat. He had better get something else to do," another source pointed out, revealing that Kibwana would not backtrack on that decision. Asked what position Mutula should contest, the source was terse.


"It is not for us to tell him what seat he should run for. He can go for an MCA seat for all we care. What is clear is that our eyes are firmly trained on the senator's position and we shall sweep it," remarked the governor's confidant. 



A ruthless grassroots mobilizer of repute who combines this trait with soft activism, Kibwana is set to turn the tables in Makueni county as it is also rumoured that, through his Muungano party, he has drawn up a line up that will compete against Wiper and any other party for all the county positions.


Curiously, Mutula Jnr is reportedly working clandestinely with Makueni MP Dan Maanzo to stop Kibwana in his tracks and extinguish his ambition of becoming the county senator. 



Maanzo has told his close confidants that should Kibwana go for the senator's seat, he (Maanzo) will also contest for the same position in order to vanquish the outgoing governor. 



Who will blink first? Stay tuned.

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
