In a thunderous address following a church service at Katangi Catholic Parish in Yatta, Machakos Governor Wavinya Ndeti reaffirmed her position as one of Kenya\u2019s most fearless and reform-driven county leaders. Speaking with conviction and clarity, the governor laid bare the transformation her administration has sparked most notably, the unprecedented rise in Machakos\u2019 own-source revenue, which has surged from KSh 1.1 billion under her predecessor\u2019s decade-long rule to a record-breaking KSh 2 billion in just under three years. \u201cThe noise you hear is from desperate thieves,\u201d she declared, \u201cthose who used to siphon public funds but can no longer access the gravy train.\u201d With a bold vision, Wavinya promised to push the figure to KSh 7 billion, underscoring her commitment to financial independence and resilience even as national government delays in revenue disbursement continue to bite.<\/p>\n

Unflinching in the face of political threats and intimidation, Governor Wavinya made it clear that her leadership is anchored on integrity and guided by divine purpose. \u201cI am a God-fearing leader and a lioness,\u201d she said, warning those hoping to weaken her resolve that she would not allow Machakos\u2019 hard-earned resources to be looted. Her passionate defense of clean governance was also a powerful rebuttal to chauvinistic critics undermining her administration for being woman-led. \u201cThose men eyeing my seat in 2027 should prepare for an unseen political showdown,\u201d she said, drawing roaring cheers. Her message was not just political it was deeply personal, echoing a lifetime of service, strength, and refusal to be bullied into silence or submission.<\/p>\n

True to her promise of transformative leadership, Governor Wavinya rolled out a wave of development achievements and pledges that are already reshaping Machakos. She thanked the people of Yatta for their overwhelming support in the 2022 elections and pointed to the ongoing tarmacking of the Katangi\u2013Kithimani Road as a living symbol of promises kept. Looking ahead, she announced the upcoming construction of a Level 5 hospital in Matuu and a Level 4 facility in Katangi critical investments in healthcare access. To improve road infrastructure, she also pledged to procure nine new road graders to rehabilitate and expand road networks across the county. Every project, she emphasized, is funded through the county\u2019s own resources, proof that clean governance breeds progress.<\/p>\n

In a strategic political call to arms, Wavinya urged the Ukambani electorate to rally behind Wiper Party candidates in 2027\u2014from MCAs to governors in support of Kalonzo Musyoka\u2019s presidential bid. She blamed some of the county\u2019s internal challenges on MCAs who were elected outside the Wiper banner, accusing them of shielding impunity within the county assembly. With her Deputy Governor Hon. Francis Mwangi, MCAs, and senior county officials at her side, Governor Wavinya Ndeti didn\u2019t just speak she roared, embodying the spirit of a leader fiercely devoted to her people, her principles, and the promise of a renewed, accountable Machakos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
