I t is my belief that each and every one of us has been created with a purpose, divinely intended to furnish Gods perfect plan for mankind and perpetually amounts to good. God in the heavens does not expect perfection from his creation but obedience that comes with the knowledge of what is expected out of us.
Kitale is a good town. May be I should say it was. Since am speaking for the bush I will try to be as direct as possi-ble so that no one will misunderstand me, even those with intentions to.

When the government started devolving funds to the grass roots for development, LATTIF included. Kitale municipality was among the local authori-ties that mismanaged the funds leading to disqualification for one round. The quality of service by the Municipal council of Kitale to its people is wholesomely depended on the employee’s intention, whether to just put salaries in their pockets or offer service to the people who are paying taxes in order for them to earn.
The revenue collected by the council and funds from central government are intended to make the lives of urban dwellers bearable by providing related services. council has been fooling the public
The streets of Kitale were fairly maintained until the season on negligence set in. The council has been fooling the public by filling the pot holes with sub standard material only to come back and do the same pretty soon after. When the pot holes started opening up as they usually do, I expected the council to perform its drama of lying to the public however I was wrong! This time it was plain negligence, and now the pot holes are too many.

In fact driving in the streets of Kitale is like driving in some remote area God knows where! The council tax collectors in their yellow uniforms collect the taxes like never before from parking fees to the mama mboga. The woes of the council don’t end there, the heaps of gar-bage and dirt thrown all over is not to the eye.
We pay taxes for Christ sake!

As we move towards crowning of Kitale as the county headquarters we need the town cleaner than before. I wonder what the priorities of the council are…..! To clean the town Mr. Mayor and Mr. Town Clerk is not a favor. If I was the one taking you through your performance appraisals. I wouldn’t resist the temptation to have you sacked. Get the hell out of your offices and let’s get some fresh air around here! We pay our taxes for Christ sake....
