Abstain from Blackmail Impeachment - Wiper to MCAs

Finance CEC-M Peter Kilonzo Tangawizi 

Our Reporter 

The Kalonzo Musyoka led Wiper party has taken a firm stance in the latest wrangles emanating from Kitui County Assembly where a section of MCAs have mooted a motion to impeach the County Minister for Finance Peter Kilonzo alias Tangawizi.


In a strongly worded statement issued on December 2, 2024 by the party's secretary general Shakilla Abdalla, the party advised its MCAs, both elected and nominated against taking part in the malicious impeachment motion.


The party was categorical that the members should not support the ongoing impeachment motion against the Finance, Economic Planning and Revenue Management CEC-M.


"As representatives of Wiper, your actions MUST align with our guiding principles, including promoting inclusivity, accountability and constructive governance. Supporting the motion will contradict our values and harm our collective objectives," the letter which is copied to the party leader Kalonzo Musyoka reads in part.


Through the letter, the Wiper MCAs were therefore advised to abstain from active participation in debating or voting for the impeachment motion.


Majority of Kitui residents support Governor Julius Malombe development and service delivery agenda and have castigated the MCAs for attempting to derail his popular county agenda.


The residents have described the impeachment motion against the Finance minister as a blackmail tactic by the MCAs to armtwist Governor Malombe into MCAs narrow selfish interests. However, a good number of the MCAs are level headed and have refused to be dragged into the selfish wrangles whose only objective is to hurt their voters. 


"This motion has nothing to do with Governor Malombe's service delivery. We all agree, even the MCAs, that the Governor has so far done a good job and his projects can be seen across the villages. Why then would the MCAs want to blackmail him?" stated a resident from Kitui East.


The residents have particularly come hard on the Assembly Speaker Kinengo Katisya who seems to be holding the MCAs hostage by promising them non existent goodies while threatening others with expulsion from committees and denial of allowances.


Skymoon Desk urges the MCAs to partner with the Governor and deliver the much needed services to the residents. We also urge for quick adoption of the Governor's well meaning memorandum on the Supplementary Budget 1.

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...

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 playi...
