Emotions ran high in Ikutha Ward, Kitui South yesterday as incoming Kitui Governor Amb Hon Kiema Kilonzo toured the region, ostensibly to drum his candidature for Kitui gubernatorials, The COUNTY DIARY reports.
During the afternoon meet-the-people tour that also took him to the people of kitui south and it’s environs with detours in ikutha villages, the Kalonzo Wiper pointman received overwhelming support from the residents who voiced their grievances.
Speaking at Ikutha, the flamboyant diplomat-turned-politician – who has been steadly winning hearts and minds across Kitui County – didn’t mince his words, attacking the current County Government of Kitui.
“There will be no more defranchised communities with me at the helm” he quipped.
On development matters Balozi – as he is popularly known, promised the residents that once they elect him as the next governor, he will ensure access to quality and affordable healthcare services including sustainable employment for the young folks not to mention distribution network of clean water.
As we went to Press, hundreds of residents promised to unequivocally support Balozi in his mission of OKOA KITUI.
