[File, Standard]I initially met Kalembe Ndile while as a budding features writer with The Standard in the 1990s. He was fighting for the settlement of squatters at Masongaleni settlement scheme in Kibwezi. Kalembe who was fighting for their settlement at Kiboko settlement schemes, had invited journalists to witness the hardships the squatters were undergoing. Kalembe would rise from activist to county councillor and later chairman of Makueni County Council before being elected Kibwezi MP in 2002. He counted the Kiboko C settlement scheme as his ‘baby’ and one of his achievements as Kibwezi MP in the ninth parliament.
