Hon. Francis Kitaka, MP aspirant Yatta Constituency 2027

MP Aspirant Yatta Constituency 2027

Six priorities grounded in KNBS data, Machakos County plans, and how high-performing MPs deliver — through legislation, oversight, representation, and transparent NG-CDF leadership.

An MP legislates and oversees; NG-CDF is delivered through the Constituency Committee. I will push transparent, completed projects and a strong National Assembly voice for every ward in Yatta.

Share your priorities

Schools & bursaries that deliver

Champion NG-CDF classrooms, labs, desks and transparent bursary awards so every learner in Yatta can advance.

Education is the #1 youth poverty driver at 47.8% in Machakos (KNBS 2020).

Yatta focus

  • Matuu · Kithimani secondary labs
  • Primary classrooms & desks
  • Public bursary lists

Proven elsewhere: Top MPs publish bursary awards and complete school projects on schedule — no ghost classrooms, no endless phases.

In Parliament / NG-CDF: Drive fair bursary criteria published publicly; prioritise incomplete school projects to completion within the NG-CDF three-year rule; raise Yatta education gaps in the National Assembly.

Water security for every ward

Push earth dams, boreholes and last-mile water so homes and farms across Yatta are drought-resilient.

Water drives 39.3% of youth multidimensional poverty in Machakos (KNBS 2020).

Yatta focus

  • Earth dams & pans
  • Boreholes · Muusini / ward schemes
  • Last-mile reticulation

Proven elsewhere: High-performing MPs combine NG-CDF water points with national mega-projects and community maintenance committees.

In Parliament / NG-CDF: Prioritise NG-CDF-eligible water works; lobby national agencies (WRA, regional WWDA) for mega dams and pipelines serving Yatta; track stalled water projects publicly.

Roads that unlock Yatta

Fight for feeder and access roads so produce, patients and students move across all five wards.

Yatta covers ~1,057 km² — connectivity is development (NG-CDF / CIDP geography).

Yatta focus

  • Matuu · Kithimani access
  • Ikombe · Katangi · Ndalani feeders
  • Drainage & culverts

Proven elsewhere: Drainage-first road works and multi-year completion plans — the hallmark of MPs who finish what they start.

In Parliament / NG-CDF: Advocate national trunk and feeder funding for the Thika–Garissa and Machakos–Kitui corridors; ensure NG-CDF access roads are completed with drainage; follow up stalled contracts.

Health facilities that serve people

Champion NG-CDF health upgrades where eligible, and a National Assembly voice for referral and staffing gaps.

71% of Machakos is rural — distance to care is a daily barrier (KPHC 2019).

Yatta focus

  • Ward health centres
  • Maternity & labs
  • Referral pathways

Proven elsewhere: Strong MPs complete health facility phases and publish equipment lists — citizens can verify delivery.

In Parliament / NG-CDF: Prioritise maternity wings, labs and equipment under NG-CDF; raise referral hospital and NHIF access issues for Yatta on the floor of Parliament.

Youth skills, sports & livelihoods

Push skills centres, sports facilities and market-linked youth programmes across Yatta.

32% of Machakos youth are multidimensionally poor; jobs are a top driver (KNBS 2020).

Yatta focus

  • Sports grounds & halls
  • Vocational / skills hubs
  • Market & MSME spaces

Proven elsewhere: Top MPs treat youth projects as completed assets — pitches, halls and skills centres handed over with maintenance plans.

In Parliament / NG-CDF: Champion NG-CDF sports and skills projects; link youth to national UHC, AGPO and digital jobs programmes; represent Yatta youth in legislation and oversight.

Transparent NG-CDF & citizen voice

Publish projects, fight stalled work, and keep Yatta residents in the loop — ward by ward.

NG-CDF law requires projects completed within three years; public oversight builds trust.

Yatta focus

  • Public project board
  • Stalled-project follow-up
  • Five-ward participation

Proven elsewhere: Best MPs treat NG-CDF as a public trust: lists online, sites visited, incomplete projects closed or completed — never abandoned.

In Parliament / NG-CDF: Insist on open project lists and public participation; use this tracker for citizen reports; exercise National Assembly oversight on national funds affecting Yatta.
