Anzauni chiefdom revived as Kyalo Muli is crowned amid Kamba unity debate

Dr. Augustus Kyalo Muli was installed as the new Chief Kyalo Muli I on October 31, 2026, reviving the Anzauni chiefdom after more than 70 years. The ceremony, held in Misuuni, Ngiini Village, Kitui County, was attended by clan leaders and hundreds of Anzauni members from various regions across Kenya and Tanzania. With an estimated population of over 400,000 within the Kamba community, the restoration of the chiefdom is seen as a significant cultural milestone that could bolster the community's political influence.

In his inaugural address, Chief Muli emphasized the importance of unity within the Kamba community to strengthen its bargaining position in national politics and address pressing issues such as access to water, roads, employment opportunities, and agricultural development.
