Kitui Governor Charity Ngilu and MCAs have agreed to work together to foster development and economic prosperity.
They held a Kamkunji on Monday led by Ngilu and speaker George Ndotto, and forged a common front in the implementation of projects.
Ndotto pledged the legislature's support in the implementation of the multimillion-shilling community level infrastructure development programme.
The MCAs also promised to support distribution of bursaries and drought mitigation plans. “You must remember we are the servants of the people and not the other way round,” Ndotto, who was the moderator, said.
The meeting was at the Kitui Agricultural Training Centre. Ngilu urged the MCAs to pass the 2018-19 budget in good time before the June 30 deadline.
“We all need to move with speed since the annual budget does not wait,” she said. Ndotto said MCAs will play a pivotal role in the full enforcement of the ban on charcoal production and sand harvesting.
Ngilu said her administration will reconsider the criteria for allocation of development funds, saying the increase of funds to
marginalised areas in the Clidp is on the cards.
“You are all aware we are facing hunger and starvation as a county and we need to do something for our people” she said.
