As Kitui residents grapple with the fallout from a controversial report by the County Assembly’s Labour Committee, a sinister plot within the county government is emerging.
This report, which aims to cast doubt on the integrity of County Secretary Agnes Mulewa, is the product of an orchestrated scheme by a rogue Chief Officer (CO) who is currently under disciplinary scrutiny by the County Public Service Board.
This CO, together with a former Chief Officer previously dismissed over corruption allegations, has launched a calculated effort to create divisions within Governor Malombe’s administration. Their ultimate goal is to fuel a divisive Kitui versus Mwingi narrative, stirring public emotions and undermining the county government’s stability.
Reliable sources indicate that these two officers, driven by self-interest, have financially influenced the Labour Committee to indict Mulewa. This comes despite Mulewa’s unwavering dedication and the fact that she has not personally benefited financially from her acting role as County Secretary.
Governor Malombe’s leadership, marked by patience and a commitment to public service, has won the admiration of many Kitui residents. However, the rogue CO’s blatant defiance is now testing the limits of that patience.
The public, impressed by the governor’s performance and integrity, is increasingly calling for the immediate dismissal of the CO, who is seen as an unnecessary burden to the county’s progress.
