New Dawn:Revamping KICOTEC for Locals Benefits

Trade CO Stephen Musili

(Episode 1) 

"KICOTEC bags new police uniforms tender worthy Ksh20M as National Government is assured of transparency by Gov. Malombe's administration"

~ The County Government has rolled out an elaborate strategy to revamp the operations at KICOTEC that was in the past mired in mystery and mismanagement. 

The first port of call is to make the business at the textile centre transparent and account for every penny utilized or generated there. 


~ This is an assurance to the National Government that they can do transparent business with KICOTEC whose end result would be to benefit the County residents. 

👁️Lest you forget, KICOTEC was a good County investment but was hijacked by economic bandits who saw it as a looting front to whet their financial appetites.

Not any more. Governor Malombe's administration is moving fast to ensure that KICOTEC's business is pegged on strict transparency and accountability. The National Government and development partners will only partner with County Governments whose leaders have shown commitment to fight corruption and have displayed an unmistakable desire to serve the public interest. 


New police tender
~ On Monday, May 8th - the Kenya Police signed a contract with KICOTEC worthy Ksh20M to make police uniforms. GSU has also indicated a continued partnership with KICOTEC as long as the transactions are transparent and above board. 

So what does this mean for Kitui County residents?

~ According to the Chief Officer for Trade, Industry, MSMEs & County EIZs Stephen Musili alias Kivunzi, the business means increased revenue for KICOTEC.

_"This means with more inflow of business, KICOTEC will start making profits and the profits will be ploughed back to the County for use in core County functions with direct impact to the residents"_ explains the CO.

The Chief Officer adds that KICOTEC only needs a cocktail of goodwill, proper marketing and internal restructuring for it to operate at its optimum.

_"That way, it will become self reliant and generate revenue for the County"_ CO Musili states. 

~ Currently, KICOTEC has resumed its operations after a long closure during the mbee nzei regime when workers went for months without pay. 

Casuals at the garment factory are now engaged on an optimal basis depending on the job at hand.

Experts have advised that the cost of operations must be brought down for the business to turn profits.

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
