[Photo: Dr Alfred Mutua]Governor Dr Alfred Mutua took his campaign trail to various areas of the Machakos County, where he interacted with residents in market places and also visited homes to explain his manifesto.He visited the home of Jane Mbula, a widow, her sons Patrick Muthoka, Sammy Ng'oko and Willy Mwania, where he promised to tarmac the winding road that goes up the hill to Iluvya. "I will also be building 250,000 litre tanks for water storage and distribution at the hilltops. My manifesto is about economic empowerment, quality life and transforming Machakos from the third world to the first world," he said. He also visited Kivaa ward in Masinga Sub-County to meet wananchi and seek votes for my re-election.
"It warms my heart to confirm that this ward like all the areas I have visited in the last few weeks is very supportive of my agenda. They have felt the impact of devolution despite their outgoing MCA failing to represent them in the way they had hoped him to," he said.
He highlighted to them the development projects he envisioned for the area that include grading and tarmacking of roads, ending the water problem they have faced for long, empowering them through the social welfare funds he set aside for the youth, women and men (family heads) as well as building modern stalls for our traders.
During the extensive tour, Mutua interacted with wananchi at Kivaa, Makutano ma Mutembuku, Kyondoni, Kwa Kyumbo, Kalamba, Miangeni and Thatha.
