Tseikuru MCA aspirant Joseph Kang’utu Ngundo has raised concerns over the absence of the sitting MCA, Kimanzi Muange, during a significant function held in Tseikuru Town yesterday. The event, organized by the County Government of Kitui, saw the election of new officials to lead the Tseikuru market, one of the region’s key commercial hubs.
During the function, traders and stakeholders gathered as county officials facilitated the election of new market leaders to steer operations and address emerging trade challenges. The absence of the area MCA, who would have been expected to support and engage with traders on their concerns, drew questions from the aspirant and members of the public.
“It is crucial for our leaders to be present in such key events that shape the economic future of our people. The market is the backbone of Tseikuru’s economy, and leadership must be hands-on in ensuring traders thrive,” stated Kang’utu.
Meanwhile, the election process concluded successfully, with the following individuals securing leadership positions at the Tseikuru Market:
- Chairperson: Syengo Kirugi
- Vice Chairperson: Muthui Musyimi
- Secretary: Katungulu Muswaili
- Treasurer: Kalunda Musyoka
The newly elected officials are now tasked with overseeing the affairs of the market, which plays a vital role in the economic landscape of Tseikuru. With its vast trade networks and increasing commercial activity, the market requires dedicated and visionary leadership to address issues such as infrastructure, security, and trader welfare.
Community members and leaders have expressed their confidence in the elected team, urging them to demonstrate commitment, transparency, and progressive leadership. “This is a big market with complex trade dynamics, and therefore a serious, committed, and forward-thinking leadership is required. I believe those elected are equal to the task,” said Kang’utu.
He further called on the community to support the new leaders, offer ideas, and pray for their success in enhancing market operations and uplifting traders.
The newly elected team is expected to engage traders and stakeholders in discussions on ways to improve market facilities, enhance business opportunities, and address existing challenges.
