The Luo community in Malindi has welcomed the appointment of one of their members to the Kilifi County government position of chief officer.
Led by Robert Onyuka who is the Secretary General of the Malindi Luo Association, they thanked Governor Gideon Mung’aro and the County Public Service Board (CPSB) for the shortlisting of Mr Naftal Owino as the Chief Officer for Youth and Sports, a first lucrative position for the community since the advent of Kilifi County.
Mr Onyuka said that community has been supporting leaders seeking elective positions in the area but ended up getting nothing in return citing the last ten years under former governor who is currently Senate Speaker Amason Kingi whom he said never bothered to employ luos in his administration.
“I take this opportunity to thank the CPSB for the interview they did and shortlisting Mr Naftal Owino for the position of chief officer for Youth and Sports. We shall continue supporting the governor as we have done before. It has been long overdue and we have been voting here and none of us has ever been considered for such a position and we thank the governor so much,” he said.
