Kitui East parliamentary aspirant Sammy Mutea on Saturday received a warm and enthusiastic welcome from boda boda riders at Kyaango Market during a grassroots engagement tour in Voo/Kyamatu Ward.
Mutea interacted with opinion leaders drawn from 14 villages across the ward, in a meeting that provided an opportunity for residents to share their views, concerns and development priorities.
The warm reception from the boda boda fraternity added to the growing grassroots engagement, with the riders expressing solidarity and taking part in discussions on issues affecting their livelihoods and the wider community.
Speaking after the engagement, Mutea appreciated the overwhelming show of support, saying direct interaction with residents remains important in understanding their needs and shaping a development agenda that reflects the aspirations of the people.
He emphasised the importance of collective leadership and community participation in building a better future for Voo/Kyamatu Ward and Kitui East as a whole.
The Saturday engagement is part of Mutea’s continued grassroots outreach as he seeks to strengthen his connection with local communities ahead of the 2027 Kitui East parliamentary contest.
