Andrew Mwadime Governor
Mwadime was sworn in as Taita Taveta’s third governor. He was announced alongside Deputy Governor Christine Kilalo. The governor accepted an oath of office at Mwatunge grounds in Mwatate Constituency. The swearing-in ceremony was presided over by High Court judge Lady Justice Ann Adwera and Chief Magistrate Mildred Obura.
He was declared alongside Deputy Governor Christine Kilalo. Mwadime, an independent candidate defeated the incumbent governor Granton Samboja with 49,902 votes in the recently completed general polls to win the coveted seat. Samboja of the Jubilee party came a distant second with a staggering 22,000 votes.
Samboja who ejected former governor John Mruttu in 2017 had only served one term in office. Mwadime becomes the second governor to be elected on an independent ticket after Meru’s Kawira Mwangaza who beat Kiraitu Murungi. Talking briefly after taking the oath of office, Mwadime lauded the residents for massively voting him in to lead the county.
He said his win was an indication that people have trust in his leadership and that he will not let down the residents. “I pray that God blesses all those who stood with me during the campaigns. The time has come now for us to give back to you by delivering our manifesto. Our oath today is a binding contract with the people of this county,” Mwadime said, further promising to serve the residents without favour.
The direct governor also fired a strong warning to the county staffers that his administration will not shield any county employee charged with graft and that unqualified staffers will not go unpunished. “I believe that this county has very competent staffers. All salaries shall be paid on time and we are promising to make sure that all employees work to the satisfaction of the residents.
Further, Mwadime said the government will form a team to manage awarding of construction tenders among other tenders in the county to ensure competency and honesty in awarding of tenders. He said the county will not pay contractors who will not have completed their projects within the stipulated timelines.
“Every contractor will be paid on time upon successfully completing the awarded tender. We will however not pay those who are used to doing shoddy jobs. We want the residents to see the value for their money,” Mwadime said. The new county boss also promised to pay the pending bills left by the outgoing governor Samboja.
Deputy Governor Christine Kilalo pledged to faithfully work with the governor in a bid to realize their manifesto and transform the region. Kilo said their government shall prioritize utilization of the county resources in the region including mineral resources to create jobs for hundreds of jobless youths in the county.
“In our manifesto, we promised to help reduce the number of jobless people in the county. That will be realized by exploring the mining sector and utilizing other resources in the county,” the Deputy Governor said in her speech.

Andrew Mwadime Party
Mwadime has ditched the ODM party noting a lack of clarity. Mwadime who has expressed interest in the Taita Taveta governor seat will vie for the Communist Party of Kenya. During a statement on Wednesday, the legislator said he desired to see the party excel to more distinguished heights and win many seats. Nevertheless, he said the party had fallen to maintain fairness in appreciating the will of the people and was caused by selfish interests.
“Parties play a critical role in democratic representation, they are meant to adhere, respect the people’s will and not serve the interest of few individuals,” Mwadime said.
“I have made a very tough decision to leave a party that I loved. I was hopeful that it would transform Taita Taveta,” the MP said. The one-time banker came to active politics in 2013 when he defeated former education assistant minister Calist Mwatela in the Mwatate parliamentary seat on the ODM ticket.

Andrew Mwadime on the survey to establish the boundaries.
In Oct 2015, Hon. Andrew Mwadime declared that a survey will be carried out to establish the boundaries of the Teita Sisal Estate and the neighboring Singila Majengo community. The Mwatate MP told the residents that the survey will end the long rivalry between the investor and the residents. He said that the land issue is heading to resolution.
Residents say the sisal plantation has extended its boundaries and encroached into community land at Singila and Majengo in Mwatate. They have petitioned the government for the new survey.
Residents say that the estate has expanded from its original 30,000 acres into Majengo and Singila villages that have more than 6,000 squatters. The sisal estate managers have ignored the parliamentary reports recommending that all public roads on the plantation be opened now for the residents to benefit.
