Governor Malombe's Legacy in Department of Finance & Revenue Management


By Kitui Digital Reporter 


Since assuming office in August 2022, the administration of H.E. Dr. Julius Malombe has implemented a total of 2,931 development projects across Kitui County.


These interventions span all 40 wards and 247 villages, touching every sector of the county economy and social life.


The projects reflect a deliberate focus on inclusive growth, service delivery, and transformation under the Kitui Promise development agenda. Let's look at: 


The FINANCE, ECONOMIC PLANNING AND REVENUE MANAGEMENT

The department has implemented revenue and fiscal management reforms supporting all 2,931 projects.


Own Source Revenue has grown from KSh 361 million in 2021/2022 Financial Year to KSh 996 million in 2024/2025 Financial Year, representing a 176% increase.


The County Treasury has also settled over KSh 1.78 billion in pending bills, improving financial stability and supporting contractors.


From 2022/2023 FY to date, the Country Assembly has received significant allocations from the County Executive share of revenue including Ksh233 million for car loan & mortgage, and an additional Ksh140 million for construction of County Assembly Office Block and Ksh34M for the Speaker's residence. 


The County Assembly has proposed an allocation of Ksh200 million for construction of 40 MCA ward offices in 2026/2027 Financial Year. However due to competing county needs, the Executive has prioritized interventions with immediate and broad public impact such as roads, ECDE classrooms, recruitment of VTC tutors among others. 


It is for this reason that Governor Malombe is urging the MCAs to consider redirecting the proposed allocation of Ksh200M for Ward offices to more pressing public needs under the department of Education & Roads.


 The Governor remains committed that the allocation for MCAs Ward offices will be factored in 2027/2028 Financial Year.

"Wiper is a vengeful party. They have pursued me with vengeance na mimi sipangwingwi" declared CNN in his statement reeking of arrogance.  "In 2027 I will show you direction" he told his supporters in a move seen as his formal announcement to ditch the Kalonzo led party for UDA.  CNN further blamed Kalonzo for fraternizing with the former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua whom the legislator claimed was an enemy of development. Three days ago, Kalonzo admonished CNN and branded him a mole within Wiper, cautioning him to shape up or ship out. "Huyo CN...

Kitui Health Sector Gains Financial Muscle Under FIF Model

KITUI Digital Reporter   Health facilities in Kitui County are currently experiencing the benefits of the Facility Improvement Financing (FIF) Act, a framework that allows revenue collected by the health facilities retained and utilized by the same facilities to improve healthcare services. Under the FIF Act, revenue generated through hospital services is retained and utilized to support service delivery, including purchase of essential drugs, improvement of infrastructure, maintenance of equipment and enhancement of patient care among others.  However, the funds collected have to be appropriated through the County Budget process to ensure accountability and proper utilization of public resources.
