Governor Malombe is in focuss come over the publishing of fake survey findings allegedly conducted by Ipsos synovate.
The Anchor has authoritatively established that the said document was doctored, possibly by the governor's supporters who feel there exists an image deficit for the county chief that requires patch up by whatever means.
The fake rating was shared to loyalist bloggers for publishing before the posts were pulled down under a barrage of questions.
Speaking to The Anchor, a senior management member of the research company indicated that the company had not yet sunctioned any research of that nature not even through any of its partner companies.
Further, the company revealed it was considering legal action against the county government and the blog that published the fictitious findings.
"It's not only wrong, but unlawful for anyone to use our logo and name in matters we have not been involved in, it puts us in bad light. We will address this through our legal department." She said.
Identifying Governor Malombe as the best performing governor countrywide, the false findings had been doctored by placing the Ipsos logo to hoodwink readers of the findings' authenticity.
This blatant falsification comes in the wake of cancellation of the Community Level Infrustructure Development Program, CLIDP, by the public procurement regulatory authority over lack of clarity of tenders awarded in various wards.
An observer Susan Kalumu posed; "How would a government that cannot successfully organise its CLIDIP plan ever be rated top in any contest?"
In addition, the ethics and anti corruption sleuths have set camp in Kitui investigating county government officers over allegations of graft, falsification of documents and setting up of illegal toll stations targeting sand and charcoal merchants.
