The emergence of businessman Boniface Muli, popularly known as “Munaa wa Minaa,” into Kitui County politics is steadily reshaping political conversations across the region. His growing influence among the youth and grassroots leaders has triggered fresh debate on the future direction of leadership in the county as the 2027 political landscape begins to take shape.
Boniface Muli is positioning himself as a champion of a new generation of leaders, advocating for youthful, energetic and visionary leadership. His slogan, “Kyuu Kitena Tutena Ti Kyuu,” has continued to gain popularity in different parts of Kitui, with supporters describing him as a bold and charismatic mobilizer determined to transform the county’s political culture. Political observers and residents alike are now closely watching his growing grassroots networks and influence.
Supporters have already started comparing Muli to former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko due to his populist approach and strong connection with ordinary wananchi. Reports from the ground indicate that he is keen on supporting aspiring MCAs and MPs across Kitui County, with names such as Hon. Nzilu Nzioka, Eng. Musakue and Mr. Mutisya frequently being mentioned among leaders associated with the movement. Youth groups backing the businessman say they are ready to rally behind leaders who align with their vision for a new political era in Kitui County.
