As the race for the Kitui governorship gradually takes shape, Kitui voters will have an important decision to make: whether to elect a politician focused on rhetoric or a leader equipped with the skills and networks needed to transform the county’s economy.
Hon. Makali Mulu enters the race with an impeccable profile that few can match.
Widely respected for his expertise in public finance and budgeting, he has built a reputation as one of Kenya’s most knowledgeable leaders on matters of resource mobilization, financial planning and development financing
When Hon. Makali Mulu was consulting for multinationals such as the World Bank, DFiD and other multinationals, some who want to compete with him were struggling as junior lecturers teaching math in village colleges.
At a time when counties are facing increasing financial pressures and shrinking allocations from the National Government, Kitui needs more than political promises.
Kitui County needs a governor who understands where money comes from, how it is allocated and how additional resources can be attracted to accelerate development.
Hon. Makali’s strength lies not only in his mastery of public finance & budgeting but also in his ability to build partnerships.
Over the years, he has cultivated relationships across government, development agencies, financial institutions and the private sector. These networks represent opportunities for investment in water, healthcare, infrastructure, agriculture, youth empowerment and other sectors of development.
Development is increasingly driven by partnerships, innovation and strategic engagement with stakeholders.
This is an area where Hon. Makali’s experience gives him an overriding advantage over his rivals.
While others may focus their campaigns on political rivalries, sloganeering and handouts, Dr. Makali offers a development-centered agenda grounded in economic transformation.
His message is simple: a county’s prosperity depends on prudent financial management, strategic planning and the ability to unlock opportunities for its people.
As Kitui prepares for the future after governor Malombe’s remarkable performance, the County residents are asking a critical question: Should the County be led by politics & rhetoric or by competence & plan?
The County residents are clear on what they want; economic growth, efficient management of public resources and a governor capable of opening doors to new opportunities.
That leader is none other than Dr. Makali Mulu – a global Economist and an expert in Public Finance and Budgeting.
Kitui residents have no room for gambling.
