Former Devolution CAS Gideon Mung’aro has been sworn in as Kilifi governor.
He was sworn in alongside his Deputy Governor Flora Chibule at Karisa Maitha Grounds.
The inauguration ceremony was presided over by Justice George Dulu and Justus Kituku.
Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho and Jubilee vice chairperson David Murathe attended the function but did not speak.
Mung’aro listed 10 points that he said would form his agenda for his five-year term.
“I have however prioritised four things. These issues were not campaign promises but issues that I pledge to fulfil,” he said on Thursday.
The four include education, health, roads and water.
“The outgoing government laid the foundation and we will take over from where they left,” he said.
Mung'aro said he would form the governor’s advisory council which will serve as an advisory committee for his development roadmap.
Outgoing governor Amason Kingi handed over all the instruments of power to Mung’aro and promised to offer advice should he need it.
“I am a son of this county and I am ready to offer help for this county to succeed. I did my best and it is time for you to propel the county ahead,” Kingi said.
