Kitui County’s Executive Committee Member for Culture, Gender, Youth, ICT, Sports and Social Services, Madam Phoebe Mutemi, is earning widespread praise for her outstanding performance and impactful leadership. Her ministry has been recognized as one of the most active and effective departments under Governor Julius Malombe’s administration, delivering tangible results across multiple sectors that directly benefit the people of Kitui.
Under her stewardship, the ministry has championed key youth-centered programs, including the development of the long-awaited Youth Policy, which is currently before the County Assembly. This policy is expected to streamline youth empowerment initiatives and strengthen the county’s commitment to youth inclusion in governance and development. In addition, the ministry has overseen the grading and improvement of playing grounds across various wards, creating safe and accessible spaces for young people to nurture their talents.
Madam Mutemi has also made significant strides in advancing gender mainstreaming within county programs. Her firm stance on addressing gender-based challenges has been instrumental in shaping county interventions that support women, men, and vulnerable groups. Through awareness campaigns, capacity-building forums, and partnerships with civil society, the ministry continues to push for a more inclusive and equitable Kitui.
The ministry has further recorded notable success through youth forums and engagement platforms that have empowered thousands of young people with skills, mentorship, and opportunities. These forums have strengthened youth involvement in leadership, innovation, and community development, underscoring the ministry’s commitment to building a vibrant and empowered generation.
As the county gears up for the highly anticipated Governor’s Cup slated for December, excitement continues to build among sports enthusiasts. The tournament, spearheaded by Madam Mutemi’s ministry, is expected to bring together teams from all sub-counties, showcasing Kitui’s rich sporting talent. Kudos to Waziri Phoebe Mutemi for steering a ministry that continues to deliver meaningful change and positively shape the future of Kitui.
