In a political landscape where competence, leadership, and a proven track record are paramount, Dr. Augustus Kyalo Muli stands out as a compelling candidate for a Cabinet Secretary (CS) position. His journey—from an exceptional academic background to corporate leadership and grassroots empowerment—paints a picture of a man well-equipped to drive transformative change in Kenya.
A Scholar and an Administrator
Dr. Muli’s academic credentials speak volumes about his commitment to knowledge and excellence. A former student of Starehe Boys’ Centre, one of Kenya’s most prestigious institutions, he later pursued a Bachelor’s degree in Education at Kenyatta University, equipping him with a solid foundation in policy formulation and public administration. His pursuit of further knowledge saw him earn a Master’s in Business Administration from MG University in Dubai, adding a strategic and managerial dimension to his expertise. In recognition of his outstanding contributions, he received an honorary doctorate from American Breakthrough University, further cementing his stature as an academic and professional heavyweight.
A Proven Track Record in Leadership and Governance
Beyond academia, Dr. Muli has demonstrated outstanding leadership in both corporate and political spheres. For over a decade, he served as the CEO of an international logistics company in Dubai, where he honed his skills in global trade, governance, and administration. His ability to navigate the complexities of international business makes him an asset to any ministry, particularly those handling trade, infrastructure, education, or economic planning.
Back home, his leadership has been equally transformative. As the leader of the National Liberal Party (NLP), Dr. Muli has given his Anzauni clan a national outlook, positioning the party as a vehicle for progressive politics and governance. His strategic vision and ability to unite diverse communities under one banner prove his capability to handle a national role effectively.
Championing Women Empowerment and Economic Growth
Dr. Muli’s impact extends beyond politics into grassroots empowerment. Through Kyalo Kya Maendeleo, an initiative focused on women’s economic advancement, he has been at the forefront of training over 1,000 women in modern basket weaving across Kitui County. These women are now trainers of trainees (TOT), ensuring sustainability and continued knowledge transfer within communities.
Recognizing the importance of economic independence for women, Kyalo Kya Maendeleo has partnered with UN Women to source ready markets for these baskets in Europe, providing a steady income stream for thousands of households. His efforts in transforming local craftsmanship into an international business model underscore his vision for economic empowerment and sustainable development—an approach that would greatly benefit Kenya’s economic policies.
Why He Is Well Suited for a CS Position
With his deep understanding of education, governance, business, and grassroots empowerment, Dr. Augustus Kyalo Muli is more than qualified to serve as a Cabinet Secretary. His ability to handle complex administrative tasks, coupled with his strong background in policy formulation and implementation, makes him an ideal candidate for ministries such as Education, Trade, Industrialization, or Public Service and Gender Affairs.
At a time when Kenya needs leaders with a track record of delivering results, Dr. Muli represents a new breed of transformative policymakers—individuals who not only have the credentials but have also demonstrated real impact in people’s lives.
If merit, vision, and experience are the criteria for public service appointments, then Dr. Augustus Kyalo Muli is the right choice for a Cabinet position.
