Webuye West is not a constituency I discovered because I wanted to become a Member of Parliament. It is my home. I was born and raised here. I know our villages, our roads, our markets, our farms, our businesses and the daily struggles of our families because these are the realities that have shaped my own life.
Some aspirants may be learning Webuye West through campaign tours and election meetings. I learned Webuye West by living here. My relationship with this community is not seasonal, borrowed or politically convenient. I have grown here, invested here and chosen to build my future together with the people of Webuye West.
I have invested in manufacturing within Webuye West. This has allowed me to experience the challenges facing our business community directly. I understand the cost of electricity, machinery, transport, licences, taxation, credit, raw materials and unreliable infrastructure. I understand what prevents businesses from expanding and why so many enterprises that should be employing our young people remain small.
Our high unemployment rate is not proof that our young people are lazy or incapable. It is the result of an economy that has not created enough factories, growing businesses, productive agricultural value chains and practical opportunities. We educate young people and then send them into a market that does not have enough jobs for them.
That is why my agenda places manufacturing, industrial growth, agriculture, agro-processing, affordable credit, infrastructure and enterprise development at the centre of our transformation. Webuye West must become a place where businesses come to invest, farmers process and package what they produce, young people develop marketable skills and local enterprises grow from survival into serious employers.
I also understand that the work of a Member of Parliament goes beyond attending functions and distributing temporary assistance. Parliament determines how taxes are collected, how resources are allocated, which industries receive support and how public money is overseen. Webuye West deserves a representative who understands legislation, budgeting, representation and accountability.
I will fight for better roads, reliable electricity, accessible water, improved markets, digital hubs, stronger schools and TVET institutions, functioning healthcare facilities and opportunities for women, young people, farmers and entrepreneurs. I will also demand transparent procurement, public disclosure of expenditure and proper oversight of every public shilling.
I am not coming to Webuye West to experiment with leadership. I am already invested in its success. I understand the ground, I understand business, I understand job creation and I have a clear manifesto connecting legislation with the daily needs of our people.
In 2027, I am asking the people of Webuye West to choose a leader who was born here, has built here and is ready to fight for here.
Together, we will build a new dawn for Webuye West.
