Dr. Malombe's County Tours Endear Him To Voters

Incoming Kitui governor Dr Julius Malombe has become the talk of every town and village where residents who are hungering for development and services have vowed to back him for the county top seat. 

Everywhere Dr Malombe goes, disillusioned residents have only one wish to make; that he comes back to serve the Kitui population.

And Dr Malombe has escalated his countywide tours even as anxious voters give him their priorities for consideration once he assumes office. 

This past weekend, Dr Malombe was at Kalimenza village in Kyangwithya West where he joined mourners for the send off of Beatrice Nzembi Timothy. Here he also met professionals and other groups who all promised their support. 

Dr Malombe also attended a fundraiser for EAPC at Ciokerere in Tseikuru ward. Again, he held meetings with local leaders who promised their unwavering support. 

He later toured Tharaka ward for another leaders meetings where he also got a chance to listen to the locals' needs. They vowed to stand with him. 

Over the last few months, Dr Malombe has earned himself support from key stakeholders including opinion leaders, the religious groups, youth and women groups, professionals and others. He has also received quite a number of key defectors from competing camps who have seen the light and decided to associate with the development oriented leader. 

"This time round, people want a leader who can truly work for them and who can share the county resources equitably. They have identified Dr Malombe as the only person who fits this bill, and have decided to go for him," says Levy Mwania, a famed opinion leader from larger Mwingi.
