For too long, a small clique of loud critics has tried to create the false impression that Kitui is collapsing under Governor Julius Malombe. Let us put the record straight. Kitui is not bleeding — it is healing, rebuilding, and moving forward under a leadership that puts people first.
Governor Malombe inherited a county that had been left in disarray. Today, we see order being restored in management, services being revived, and communities once neglected now being prioritized. Those spreading lies about corruption cannot point to a single proven case — because their accusations are nothing but empty noise meant to distract the people.
One name they keep dragging through the mud is Gladys Kivoto, the County Chief Officer for Agriculture. Why? Because she is delivering results that ordinary Kitui people can see. Under her stewardship, farmers are receiving seedlings, livestock programs have been revitalized, and extension services are back on track. Critics attack where there is success, because success threatens them.

Let’s be honest: those who keep shouting about “cartels” are the very ones who lost power and privileges when Malombe shut down their networks of plunder. They now hide behind propaganda because they cannot stomach the fact that the county is finally being run with accountability.
If anything, Malombe and Kivoto are strengthening Wiper’s position ahead of 2027. They are showing that leadership is about delivery, not noise. And if Gladys Kivoto is ever entrusted by the people of Kitui South with higher office, it will not be because of political favors — it will be because she has worked, and the people have seen it.

To the critics, here is the message: your era of lies and blackmail is over. Kitui people are not fools. They can see the progress under Malombe’s watch, and no amount of character assassination will erase that.
