The Kitui County Independent Senatorial Candidate Senator Kijana Stephen Kyalo Musango Makonge took his political charm offensive to the people of Kisasi, Katwala, Mbitini and Mutomo yesterday
Speaking to the mammoth crowd who cheered him as he sold his transformative agendas on Friday 9th July, Musango made it clear that senate position can influence a lot of development in the county
“I will fight for Kitui county at the national level so that we can be given more revenue allocation because our county is equal to Kiambu, Nairobi, Machakos, Kajiado, Makueni and Embu.
Being the vast and expansive county, we need more funds, population density should not be used as a factor of national revenue sharing formula because our people trek long distances searching for services instead,” Musango promised to revisit the law touching on division on budget revenue sharing formula
He told the voters that he will champion the interests of the youth, women and people with disabilities because they have been neglected by previous leadership because of lack of youth representation at top county seats
He also promised to take care of their resources and provide strong oversight and accountability of County funds.
Mr Musango said that he will work closely with the elected governor and members of parliament to make sure that the funds trickled down to the county executive, shall be utilised prudently and in accountable manner
“We should not be fighting all the time from national level to county level, once you put us to the office, we are left with the obligation of delivering to the people and that should be banked, any excuses 2whatsoever are uncalled for and cheap politics to detriment our citizens,” the no-nonsense candidate observed
