Mwengi Mutuse, the current MP for Kibwezi West in Makueni County, recently made waves by acquiring a helicopter, signaling his serious intent to vie for the Makueni gubernatorial seat in the 2027 elections.
This move is part of a broader political strategy, as Mutuse prepares to expand his outreach across the county.
Known for his efforts in local development, Mutuse has advocated for infrastructure, water, and environmental projects, which he intends to elevate to a countywide level if elected governor.
With a strong background in law, holding both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree from the University of Nairobi, Mutuse has established himself in Kenyan politics as a well-educated and principled leader.
His recent actions, including an impeachment motion against Kenya’s Deputy President, have underscored his dedication to upholding legal and ethical standards in governance.
His helicopter purchase aligns with this dedication, enabling him to engage more closely with Makueni’s diverse communities and ensuring he’s well-prepared for the rigorous campaigning ahead
Mutuse’s early career experience, particularly his time as Chief of Staff in the Machakos County Government, has equipped him with a robust understanding of county governance.
This experience, combined with his Maendeleo Chap Chap party affiliation, signals a fresh approach aimed at transforming Makueni into a model of progressive development in Kenya.
The helicopter acquisition, a first for his campaign strategy, highlights Mutuse’s commitment to maintaining visibility and connecting with residents in even the most remote parts of the county.
