Rabai member of parliament, William Kamoti, has protested a move to have sub county and ward administrators work from anywhere in the Kilifi county.

According to the legislature, these posts were political post and those employed in various region should have a vast knowledge of the area and the people living in the locality.

Speaking at Rabai during the home coming party of Ruruma ward representative, Naphtali Kombo, at Mwanjama grounds, Kamoti downplayed governor Kingi’s idea to have those qualified to be distributed regardless of their home location.

“yes we are all one from the same counties but ward and sub counties administrator should work close with their respective county rep and Mps, if you get a person from Magarini to work in Ruruma he/she might not be conversant with what is happening and might take long to catch up.” Said  Kamoti.

Speaking during the same function, Kilifi county governor, Amason Kingi, said the idea was to mix the communities living within the county to reduce the impact of tribal differences.

According to the governor, the intention was to have each community to appreciate the other as they work towards improving the living standards in the county.

“All that are will be employed may come from Rabai constituency but not necessary for them to work within, we should not view people by their tribe as we are all Kilifian.” Said Kingi.

However kamoti expressed dissatisfaction in the manner in which the county employment board had treated the employment process of filling posts in the county government sitting discrimination of some communities living in Kilifi.

According to the Rabai Mp, despite the need to have qualified person to work in the county government, the governor has to cheap inn whenever things are wrong.

“We understand to board is independent but they are there because you were elected so its not enough to say opportunities will be distributed equally while not the case in reality.  We also have information that those who were shortlisted in the administrator positions there is no one from Rabai who was interviewed and those responsible did their own calculations to suit their interests.” Claimed Kamoti

At the same time, Ruruma ward county rep. Naphtali Kombo, called on the locals to work closely with leaders to give room for development at the grass root level.

Addressing locals at Rabai, he stressed on the need to shy away from divisive politics and focus on development projects geared towards uplifting the living standards of the local citizens.

“ you voted in new system of governance that was meant to foster development across the country equally, unfortunately we were all new in the system and used almost the whole of last year in seminars to learn more, now it’s time for all of us to work together to achieve our goal.” Advised Kombo
