Hon.Mbithe Mulinge sets Sights on Kitui Woman Representative Seat in 2027

The political race for the Kitui Woman Representative position in the 2027 General Election could be heading for a major shake-up, with Hon. Mbithe Mulinge positioning herself to make a return to the electoral arena.

Mulinge, who currently serves as a nominated Member of the Kitui County Assembly, is seeking to transition back to elective politics and is eyeing the Kitui Woman Representative seat as her next political destination.

Her expected entry into the 2027 contest is already generating interest within Kitui's political circles, particularly among supporters who believe her experience and grassroots connections could give her an advantage in the race.

Mbithe Mulinge is being associated with a record that includes advocacy for women's empowerment, youth programmes, education and community initiatives. Her backers argue that these areas have helped her maintain visibility and relationships with communities across the county.

The race, however, is expected to be fiercely contested. Mulinge will have to contend with other aspirants who are likely to emerge as political parties begin preparing for their nomination contests and candidates start building countywide support networks.

Her decision to target the Woman Representative seat could also trigger fresh political realignments in Kitui. Aspirants may be forced to reconsider their strategies, while parties and influential political figures could begin weighing potential alliances ahead of the 2027 election.

For her supporters, Mulinge's experience in county leadership is a major selling point. They believe she understands the challenges facing women, young people and vulnerable groups and can use her experience to push their interests at the national level.

But the emerging contest is unlikely to be without criticism. Some voters may favour a new generation of leaders and could demand fresh ideas, stronger accountability and a different approach to representation.

With the 2027 elections still on the horizon, the political landscape remains fluid. Much will depend on party nominations, alliances and the ability of individual candidates to connect with voters at the grassroots.

For now, Hon. Mbithe Mulinge is positioning herself for the battle for the Kitui Woman Representative seat in 2027—a move that could add significant competition to an already anticipated race.

Yatta MP Robert Basil Reaffirms Commitment to Education, Urges Learners to Pursue Excellence

Yatta MP Hon. Robert Basil has reaffirmed his commitment to supporting education in the constituency, emphasizing the need to create an environment where every learner can access opportunities to succeed and realize their potential.

Speaking during the Prize Giving Day at Mathingau Secondary School, Basil said celebrating academic achievement, discipline and hard work is essential in motivating learners to set higher goals and remain committed to their education.

The legislator congratulated students who were recognized for their outstanding performance, urging them not to be complacent but instead use their achievements as motivation to work even harder in their pursuit of excellence.

Basil said young people need encouragement and recognition because such support gives them the confidence to dream bigger and believe in their ability to achieve their aspirations.

He further stressed that education remains one of the most important investments in the future of Yatta, noting that leaders, teachers, parents and the wider community all have a role to play in ensuring learners are provided with the right environment to thrive.

According to Basil, leadership should go beyond addressing immediate needs and focus on empowering the next generation through education and other opportunities that can transform their lives.

He commended the teachers at Mathingau Secondary School for their dedication and commitment to guiding learners, noting that their work extends beyond classroom teaching to shaping the character, discipline and future of young people.

Basil also recognized parents for their continued support and sacrifice in ensuring their children remain in school and have the necessary support to pursue their studies.

Basil said the achievements celebrated during the Prize Giving Day demonstrate what can be accomplished when learners, teachers, parents and leaders work together towards a common goal.

He encouraged learners who did not receive awards to remain focused, assuring them that success is built through consistency, discipline and determination rather than being defined by a single examination or academic result.

He maintained that every learner has unique potential and should be encouraged to discover and develop their talents while remaining committed to their education.

He reiterated his commitment to working with schools and education stakeholders across Yatta to strengthen the learning environment and ensure that young people are equipped with the knowledge, skills and discipline required to compete successfully in the future.

The Mathingau Secondary School Prize Giving Day brought together students, teachers, parents and other members of the school community to celebrate academic excellence and recognize learners who had distinguished themselves through hard work and discipline.

Basil said such occasions are important not only for recognizing achievement but also for inspiring the entire school community to maintain a culture of excellence.

He urged the learners to remain disciplined, focused and determined, saying the future of Yatta depends heavily on how well the next generation is empowered today.

MEMA Africa: A Growing Movement Transforming How Creatives are Recognized, Empowered and Supported

Several months after unveiling its expanded Pan-African platform, MEMA Africa continues to gain momentum as it establishes itself as more than just an awards competition.The platform, which evolved from the Myogenic Excellent Music Awards (MEMA), has broadened its reach and vision to create a continental space where creatives can be recognized for their talent while also accessing opportunities designed to support their careers, welfare and livelihoods.

At the heart of MEMA Africa is a commitment to recognize, empower and support creatives through meaningful and life-changing opportunities.

Unlike traditional awards platforms that primarily focus on nominations, voting and trophies, MEMA Africa has developed a benefits structure intended to ensure that participation can translate into tangible support for nominees.

Direct financial empowerment for nominees

One of the standout features of MEMA Africa is its commitment to direct financial empowerment.

Nominees receive 25% of the value of votes cast in their favour, giving creatives an opportunity to benefit financially as they build support for their campaigns.

This model gives voting an added dimension, allowing fans and supporters to contribute not only toward a nominee's chances of recognition, but also toward the nominee's broader financial empowerment.

10,000 votes unlock a range of benefits

For nominees who attain 10,000 votes, MEMA Africa provides access to a range of welfare and empowerment initiatives under its benefits programme.

Among the benefits are:

MEMA Production – supporting creatives in production and helping them advance their creative projects.

MEMA Afya – providing healthcare-related support as part of MEMA's commitment to the wellbeing of creatives.

MEMA Bundle of Joy – offering support around important family and life moments.

MEMA Lands – creating opportunities aimed at helping beneficiaries pursue long-term asset ownership and financial security.

MEMA School Fees – supporting education needs and helping ease the burden of school fees for beneficiaries.

The platform also offers Travel and Visa Support, opening opportunities for creatives who may need assistance in pursuing international engagements, events and professional opportunities.

Another key component is the MEMA Creative Hub, which is designed to provide a space for creative development, collaboration, networking and growth.

Building a sustainable ecosystem for creatives

MEMA Africa's growing appeal is anchored in its attempt to address some of the realities facing creatives beyond the stage.

For many artists and other creatives, recognition alone does not necessarily translate into financial stability, access to healthcare, education, property ownership or opportunities to expand their careers.

MEMA Africa is positioning its platform to help bridge that gap by connecting recognition with practical empowerment.

The initiative is therefore increasingly being viewed as a movement that seeks to create a stronger ecosystem around creatives — one where talent can be celebrated while the individuals behind that talent are also supported.

A Pan-African vision

With its expanded identity as MEMA Africa, the platform is also embracing a broader continental outlook, bringing creatives from across Africa into one ecosystem.

The vision goes beyond individual awards to create a platform capable of connecting talent, audiences, opportunities and support systems across borders.

As the 2026 awards season continues to attract participation and attention, MEMA Africa is seeking to build on its momentum and strengthen its position as a platform that puts creatives at the centre of its mission.

MEMA Africa is more than a competition. It is a growing movement built around opportunity, empowerment, talent development and transformation.
