Development in action as Sonko and Mwendandu launch transformative electricity project in Itulu
Ikanga/Kyatune Ward today witnessed another defining chapter of progress as MCA Hon. Cyrus Kisavi Musyoka, alias Sonko, together with Kitui County CECM for Energy and Environment John Mwendandu, launched the County-REREC electricity partnership project in Itulu village. Through this initiative, 86 households are set to receive electricity, a life changing boost made possible by a joint financial commitment between the County Government of Kitui and REREC on a one to one contribution basis, deliberately designed to uplift the ordinary mwananchi.
The launch stands as a clear testament to Hon. Sonko’s development focused leadership over the last three years. His consistent push for practical, people driven projects has transformed promises into visible results on the ground. By bringing power closer to homes, the project opens doors to better livelihoods, improved security, expanded business opportunities and a brighter future for families who have waited patiently for such progress.
Speaking at the event, MCA Sonko warmly thanked Governor Dr Julius Malombe’s administration, particularly the Ministry of Energy under CECM John Mwendandu, for their dedication to service delivery. He also appreciated his fellow Members of the County Assembly of Kitui for supporting the budget that enabled the county to partner effectively with REREC, noting that teamwork at the assembly level is key to meaningful development.
The MCA reaffirmed his commitment to work closely with Governor Malombe, CECM Mwendandu and all county government officials to lobby for more transformative projects across Ikanga Kyatune Ward. He was accompanied by Ward Assistant Nicholas Kivite, Personal Assistant Senior Kilunda and Monicah Wilson, with the event also attended by Ward Administrator Joycaster Mumina, area Village Administrator David Musyula, administrators from neighbouring villages, REREC officials and other county government representatives.
As the lights begin to shine in Itulu, the wider message is unmistakable. Hon. Sonko’s solid development record continues to speak louder than words, positioning him firmly for a second term in 2027. His visible achievements are already making opponents sweat as they struggle to explain their agenda to mwananchi, while he has already delivered where it truly matters.
