Kitui County stands at a defining political moment as the tenure of Governor Julius Malombe nears its conclusion. With the succession debate gaining momentum, one name has increasingly captured the public imagination — Hon. Makali Mulu.
Widely respected as both a seasoned politician and a development-oriented servant leader, Hon. Makali has built a reputation for results-driven leadership. His tenure in managing Constituency Development Funds (CDF) is often cited as proof of his transparency and efficiency in handling public resources. From the construction of modern classrooms to the upgrading of road networks, his track record is seen as evidence of how prudent management can transform communities.
Residents across Kitui speak fondly of his calm demeanor, honesty, and unifying approach to leadership. “His leadership style inspires confidence among ordinary citizens. He is also a good manager of public resources,” a Mwingi Central resident told The County Diary.
The groundswell of support appears to cut across social and professional divides — from market traders and teachers to farmers and professionals. Many believe that Hon. Makali embodies the qualities of a governor who will listen, plan, and deliver. As the county prepares for the transition, the mood on the ground suggests that Makali Mulu is increasingly being seen as the people’s choice to steer Kitui into the future.
