‎Top Kitui county officers are holding a weeklong working retreat  in Mombasa where they are seeking to cement Malombe's  administration  legacy to serve as a reliable template for future governments. The retreat has on board County Executive Committee Members and Chief Officers among other high ranking officials

‎"As we approach our final phase of our 2022-2027 administration, the question before us is profound: What legacy shall we leave behind?, posed the Wiper party governor.

‎

‎Governor Malombe emphasized that his government must leave behind a legacy that aligns with its mission of providing effective services and creating an enabling environment for inclusive and sustainable socioeconomic development and improved livelihoods for all residents.

‎

‎The county boss reiterated that his county employees must ensure residents enjoy high quality lives by implementing programmes that lead to prosperity for all the 40 wards in Kitui County. The retreat also served as a forum to refine ideas, sharpening strategies and renewing commitments to serve Wananchi more efficiently.

While enumerating his government's achievements, Dr Malombe said that in his second term, 2931 projects have been achieved. The projects cover 16 focus areas under the Kitui Promise Agenda reaching all 247 villages.

‎

‎The success has not been without challenges especially on the external front. They include inflation, climate change and supply chain disruptions due to war in far away countries.      Malombe exuded confidence that the  Kitui County workforce  was resilient enough to weather much of the problems they face by being more innovative and resilient.

‎"Our journey has demonstrated that collective leadership and team work remains the cornerstone of sustainable development", he said.
