Finally, Ukambani political wounds begin to heal

The political misery at Ukambani has changed drastically. The rise of Dr Alfred Mutua as the governor of Machakos County came with a calming wave for the political storm in the Eastern region. His support for the ruling government and development promises for the County has set Ukambani as reference to all other counties across the country since devolution. The core principle for any progress in a region’s development is based on three key areas which are; political, social and economic development.

Mutua has lit the candle of political progression in the Kamba land forcing Kitui and Makueni Counties to play catch up. They are rumored to have patricianly let down their residents because of the little development witnessed in the areas contrary to their 2013 manifestos.
