Revealed: Musila To Be Zoned Out As Jubilee Writes To Him

Mailu Musila of JP

Our Reporter 

The zoning agreement within the Azimio - One Kenya coalition to prevail on weak candidates to drop out of the race in favour of strong candidates has now hit home.


Here in Kitui county, former senator David Mailu Musila who is running for the gubernatorial position on a Jubilee Party ticket is the casualty of these negotiations meant to boost Azimio - One Kenya numbers. 


A letter from the Jubilee Party (JP) addressed to Musila and which has been availed to the Skymoon Desk in confidence indicates that the party has announced its decision to withdraw its interest in Kitui governor's race, leaving the stage for the most popular party in Ukambani; Wiper. 


The letter dated 22nd June 2022 and signed by the party's Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni and addressed to David Musila reads in part;



Dear Hon. David Musila.

Kindly note, in light of negotiations between the party leaders for Jubilee party, Wiper party and ODM party which form part of the Azimio - One Kenya coalition, it has been decided that Jubilee Party withdraws its interest in Kitui's governor's seat. Evidently, Jubilee is not a popular party in Ukambani, and particularly Kitui county thus it is in our best interest to zone the region for the popular party; Wiper. For avoidance of any doubt, kindly note that henceforth and through to the election date, Jubilee Party considers the Wiper candidate as the sole candidate for our Coalition in Kitui County. The decision has been reached in utmost good faith to give our presidential candidate Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga a good chance to win with majority coalition seats...." the letter reads partly. 


The letter goes on to say that the decision to pull Jubilee party out of the race was also pegged on the popularity and acceptance of the candidates among Kitui voters, where varied opinion polls have shown Wiper's Dr. Julius Malombe scoring highly against Musila. 



The Secretary General further requests Musila to consider withdrawing his candidature for the common good of Azimio - One Kenya, with the letter noting that a further communication will be done to the former Senator on what other role(s) will be assigned to him within the coalition. 



This therefore means that Jubilee party will not invest in Kitui Gubernatorial race and also explains why two weeks ago, Raila Odinga in the company of Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka roundly endorsed Dr. Malombe as the sole Azimio - One Kenya alliance candidate for Kitui county race.  



Should Musila heed his party's directive on zoning and drop his unpopular bid, the Azimio - One Kenya Coalition candidate Dr. Malombe will face it out with Kenya Kwanza candidate Jonathan Mueke who is running on a UDA party ticket during the August 9 polls.

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
