Governor turns to clerics for support in creating awareness

Religious leaders from Kitui County have been urged to work closely with the county government in order to change people’s attitudes towards development and spur their economic growth.

Governor Julius Malombe said all religious leaders have a role to play in creating awareness on what the county government is doing to change their livelihood.

"The clergy are well placed to champion civic education and awareness on what the county government is doing and what the people need to do to change their lives,” he said.

Malombe said his administration has initiated many projects in all areas of life with a view of changing the social and economic status of the people of Kitui.

 “We want to help our people begin viewing themselves differently and be capable of overcoming challenges facing them. We need religious leaders to help us champion this cause,” the governor said.

The governor was speaking at his office, when he received church representatives who paid him a courtesy call, and he told the clerics that he would like the county to have a Prayer Breakfast Day.

The Kitui County Clergy Fellowship caucus (KCCF) led by Bishop Charles Kimolo said they are ready and willing to work with the county government in propagating peaceful co-existence, unity and diligence in order to fast track the county's development.

The Bishop hailed Malombe's development agenda that has been marked by public participation.
