More Reasons Why Hon Kuvasila Ranks as the Most Vocal and Hard-working Ngilu Minister


By COUNTY DIARY Editor


Popular Kitui County Minister for Tourism, Sports and Culture who is also the Ag. County Minister for Environment and Natural Resources Hon Patrick Koki Musau ranks as the most hardworking Kitui Executive today.




But it is his sustained work across the county, ranking from supporting Governor Charity Ngilu 5 Pillar Manifesto that has gripped the attention of the people of Kitui - probably making him one of the most vocal Ministers not only in Kitui but across Ukambani as whole.


His grip in local matters including sensitizations on mining, the adverse effects of sand harvesting and protection of environment that is making him an household name and a few enemies. 


But rather than slow him, it has only emboldened him to fight tooth and nail for his people of Mwingi West and Kitui County as a whole - where he visits regularly to listen and share matters arising with the electorate.



Speaking while representating H.E Hon Governor Ngilu to mourn the fallen  Educationalist Icon Mr Simon Muthee Kianda at Itoloni in Migwani Sub County, Hon. Patrick  Musau cautioned the present mourners that covid-19 pendamic is  killing real  people and thus they should continue observing the already laid down strict government measures regarding covid-19 pendamic virus adding that Kitui County has a covid-19 facility fully equipped with ventilators at Kauwi Sub-County hospital.


The County Executive for Environment distributed 2000 face masks and tree seedlings given by Governor Ngilu to all people present including the local churches and schools in a bid to increase forest cover from the current 7.08% to 10% in line with vision 2030.


He further highlighted some programs which Governor Ngilu has already done like KICOTEC which is manufacturing face masks which are being distributed freely to all schools in Kitui County, the Kitui Pharm which is making hand sanitizers and various hospital products and which will soon be distributed to schools as well,  the youth enterprise facility (KIYOSEC) at Manyenyoni which are all a youth empowerment facilities.


Other dignitaries present are Kitui County Senator Hon Enoch Kiio Wambua, Kitui County Women Rep Hon Dr Irene Kasalu, Busia Women Rep Hon Florence Mutua, area MP Hon Charles  Nguusya Nguna a.k.a CNN, area MCA Hon Philiph Nguli a.k.a Kalumaita, Nairobi City County Minority leader Hon Patrick Mbangula, Nairobi City County Assembly Clerk Hon Jacob Ngwele, Kitui County Commissioner  Mr John Andego, Nairobi County Commissioner madam Flora, senior government officials from the Ministry of Interior and Co-ordination, State House Presidential Delivery Unity and several DCC's from across the Country among other leaders....
