You are Running Too Early - Wambua Warns 2027 Aspirants

Governor Julius Malombe with Senator Wambua

By Senator Kiio Wambua 


God is great.

I know this matter of the 2027 Kitui County gubernatorial race has occupied the minds of many people. And it is okay because you can't really dictate how people think and/or act. I am told that some people have already declared interest in the seat and are already campaigning. This is also okay. But in my own very honest opinion, I think it is too early to declare interest in elective seats only a few months after the August 9, 2022 general elections. As a Christian, I am guided by the words of the preacher in

 Ecclesiastes 3:1..."there is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens".


There is time for everything, let us first serve the people who elected us - Wambua advises early campaigners 

We need closure on outstanding issues relating to the last elections as a way of safeguarding future elections. On this matter, I am on the table with 14 other Kenyan leaders to pursue fairness, peace and stability in our country. Pray for me and other team members in the bipartisan talks to succeed.

I have decided to fight for our people to get the benefits of electing me before asking them for another political position four years away.

As a senior leader in Wiper, I have a duty to work closely with like-minded leaders to strengthen our party in readiness for the 2027 polls. The party must be strengthened in every corner of the country as we prepare our Party Leader for the Presidency. On this matter, my mind is very clear. And from the look of things, "mbele iko sawa" but a lot more needs ro be done.

But as I said, people are free to engage and pursue their personal dreams as they please.

On the floor of the Senate, in relation to the fresh mandate given to me by the great people of Kitui County, I am focussing on my call of duty (Article 96 of the Constitution) to protect Kitui County and its government. I am happy that I have already pushed for an additional more than Sh530,000,000 to Kitui County through the Equalisation Fund Bill. When I joined the Senate in 2017, Kitui County had been removed from the proposed list of beneficiary counties but now we are there. 

In the next budgeting cycle for the Equalisation Fund, I will push for more areas in Kitui to benefit. This I will do in close consultation and negotiation with my colleagues in the Senate and CRA. Thankfully, we have one of our own in the CRA and his input on this strategy will be valuable.

I have pushed for the republication of the Ndengu Bill and led the Senate in very successful public participation exercises in Tseikuru, Ngomeni, Mutomo and Kiusyani. I am happy with the pace of the processing of the Bill.

My push for the creation of Mwingi County is gaining serious momentum through avenues I can't disclose now for strategic reasons.

I am keen on building strategic partnerships as a leader for the benefit of our people. Through the Kiio Wambua Foundation we continue to undertake feeding programmes, medical camps and reforestation in different parts of the county. The Kitui County Half Marathon is coming up soon; bigger and better. And preparations for the goat auction and cultural festival are in top gear.

I ask the people of Kitui County to continue praying for me as I commit to serve them and serve my country.


 Hon. Enoch Kiio Wambua, CBS, MP

Senator, Kitui County,

Senate Deputy Minority Leader,

Chairman, Kiio Wambua Foundation

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
