“I have kept the promise and delivered on the pledges I made in 2013 and I once again beg residents to endorse my re-election on August 8,” he said during the interview.
Malombe dismissed critics questioning his development track record saying that they are jealous.
He claimed that competitors eyeing to unseat him have no development agenda for the people.

Malombe is facing stiff competition in his re-election bid from Senator David Musila and former Lands Cabinet Secretary Charity Ngilu.

Ngilu and Musila have both expressed confidence of winning the seat claiming that they have enough numbers to send Malombe home.
