The South Eastern Kenya Economic Block (SEKEB) has held its first joint cabinet meeting and reached an agreement solely aimed at rolling back poverty and boosting the region’s economic growth.

Ukambani governors Alfred Mutua,(Machakos)Charity Ngilu (Kitui) and Kivutha Kibwana (Makueni) said SEKEB was purely an economic vehicle and they will not tolerate it being politicised.

” Today is a historic day  in the fight against poverty in Ukambani. The signing of this South Eastern Kenya Economic Bloc (SEKEB) agreement provides us, the three Governors a chance to jointly provide rapid, result based leadership for the great people of Ukambani” Said Governor Mutua.

” The SEKEB agreement which Machakos Alfred Muta, Kutui Governor Charity Ngilu and I have approved is a development covenant of the people of Ukambani from the grass roots, with us governors as the stewards. Said Governor Kibwana.

Earlier on, the three county executives held separate cabinet meetings with their respective governors before merging and coming up with the agreement which will also see the establishment of a bank
