The race for the Kitui governorship is increasingly taking a new dimension, with incoming Governor Hon. Nicholas Mulila challenging his competitors to subject themselves to public scrutiny and explain their contribution to the people of Kitui.
During grassroots meetings with community pillars in Kanziku and Mutha, Mulila said the people of Kitui deserved more than political rhetoric and promises.
He challenged those seeking to lead the county to openly tell residents where they had worked, what positions they had held and, more importantly, what they had achieved for the people during their time in public service or other leadership positions.
Mulila said political campaigns should not be reduced to a competition of promises, arguing that leaders should be judged by their record and the tangible difference they have made in the lives of ordinary citizens.
He questioned why some politicians were touring the county making promises while failing to explain what they had done for Kitui residents in the past.
According to Mulila, the people should be asking every aspiring leader a simple question: What have you done for Kitui?
He said leadership should be measured by service, responsibility and results, insisting that residents have the right to demand accountability from anyone seeking their votes.
The message resonated with grassroots leaders in Kanziku and Mutha, who pledged to support Mulila and walk with him in his quest to become the next Governor of Kitui County.
The leaders said they were looking for a leader who could speak to the realities facing residents and provide practical solutions instead of making promises that disappear after elections.
Mulila said his grassroots engagement would continue across the county, adding that his political journey would be driven by direct interaction with residents and a commitment to listening to their concerns.
As the 2027 political contest begins to take shape, Mulila is increasingly presenting his campaign as a contest between a proven record of service and what he described as empty political promises.
