He is one of the Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka’s political confidants.
The former governor is also among the most experienced Kamba politicians.
He has taken a low political life after losing in the last elections, though he has appealed Ngilu’s victory.
The appeal is pending in the Supreme Court.
Malombe was born, raised up and schooled in Kitui.
The former Governor schooled at Matinyani primary school for his primary education before proceeding to Matinyani secondary school for his ‘O’ levels.
