Four Ngilu COs Lose Big in Court

Zakayo Kimanzi, the chief saboteur 

Our Court Reporter 

Four disgruntled Chief Officers who are under instructions by former governor Kaluki Ngilu to sabotage Governor Malombe have this morning lost big in Labour Relations court. 


The 4 cartel COs namely Zakayo Kimanzi, Enoch Nguthu, Geoffrey Mulinge Changangu and Joseph Kimanga Mutua had filed a petition in court against the County Government seeking - among other things - to bar Governor Julius Malombe from hiring new Chief Officers.


The governor had advertised 26 positions for Chief Officers. The four Ngilu cartel COs had hoped to stop this process in their choleographed scheme to sabotage the development conscious governor.


However, today the Labour relations court dealt the misguided COs a big blow when it permitted Dr. Malombe to go ahead with the process of hiring new Chief Officers unhindered.


The court noted that it is unreasonable for the four disgruntled Chief Officers to seek prayers that outrightly seem to stop the County Government from functioning. 


The only temporary reprieve the four COs got was a temporary order to allow them to stay in office for a few days as their petiton is heard and determined. 

They will However lose their their authority as Accounting Officers of their respective departments. 


The County Government and the Governor were given more time until December 21, 2022 to file further submissions, which might include valid reasons why the 4 cartel COs must exit the office as a matter of public interest.


The 4 who are itching to implement the Supplementary Budget with the sole objective of authorizing payment on dubious hot air contracts undertaken during Ngilu's misrule had urged the court to find that Ngilu had appointed them as COs for a lifetime.


However, according to Senior lawyers, this is a ridiculous application which cannot stand in court and will soon crumble.  


Governor Malombe and the people of Kitui County will certainly have the last laugh as Ngilu's bleeding cartels are demolished one by one. 


Of Note: 

1. the corrupt COs will not oversee the implementation of Supplementary Budget. 

 

2. Some of the COs have active corruption cases pending at the EACC. The County Government has vowed to cooperate fully with the EACC on the aforementioned cases.

Governor Malombe Hogs Public Limelight for Best Performance

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
