After a day-long tour of Kikumbulyu North Ward that saw leaders inspect projects, commission developments and engage directly with residents, the caravan culminated in a public Baraza at Kisayani, bringing together the community and its leaders to chart a united path towards development.
The Baraza provided residents with an opportunity to meet their county government leadership, voice their concerns and present their most pressing needs directly to those entrusted with delivering services and development in the area.
Leading a delegation of leaders drawn from across Makueni County, Governor Mutula Kilonzo Jr. was joined by Deputy Governor Lucy Mulili, County Assembly Speaker Douglas Mbilu, Clerk Kevin Mutuku, Members of the County Assembly (MCAs), county officials and local opinion leaders.
The Governor took time to listen to residents and understand the unique challenges facing the community, emphasizing the importance of working together in addressing local development needs.
Among the key issues highlighted was water access. Governor Mutula said the county government had invested in the Athi Tunguni water project, described as the countyโs biggest water project in the area, to address persistent water challenges in the ward.
The project is also expected to help reduce the communityโs dependence on water sources where residents have faced increased risks of crocodile attacks.
As part of efforts to strengthen community-based economic activities, four groups were also issued with tents and chairs to support their community economic development initiatives.
The Kisayani Baraza brought the dayโs activities to a close on a message of unity, partnership and collective action, with leaders and residents reaffirming the need to work together in pursuit of sustainable development for Kikumbulyu North.
