Kitui District

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The district has two local authorities: Kitui municipality and Kitui county council.

Kitui district is divided into eight administrative divisions: Central (Kitui), Kabati, Chuluni, Mutitu, Mwitika, Mutomo (Ikanga), Ikutha and Yatta.

The district has four constituencies: Kitui West, Kitui Central, Kitui South and Mutito.

Local people are mostly of the Akamba tribe.

The climate is semi-arid; it receives roughly 71 cm (28 inches). A significant point however is that rainfall occurs practically only during the rainy seasons (one long around May and June, and one short, around September and October).

The vast majority of the economy is based on sustenance farming, despite the fact that the agriculture is an extremely challenging endeavor giving the sporadic rainfall. A logical move therefore would be a transition to non-agricultural industries.

During a recent, informal survey of the businesses in the town of Ikutha in southern Kitui District, the following businesses were identified:

  • Butcheries
  • Food Staples (rice, corn meal)
  • Mini-markets (sells things like Coca-cola, potatoes chips, bread, long-shelf milk)
  • Mechanics
  • Pubs
  • Hotel and Restaurant
