Waithaka has thousands of talented youth, hardworking women, skilled artisans, small traders, boda boda operators, and entrepreneurs who only need opportunities, support, and access to resources. Areas such as Kabiria, Riruta Satellite, and Dagoretti Corner are full of untapped business and innovation potential.
My vision is to create an economically empowered ward through practical empowerment programs. I will champion youth skills training in entrepreneurship, digital jobs, agribusiness, creative economy, communication, and vocational skills. I also seek to establish empowerment forums that connect young people and women to funding opportunities, SACCOs, government grants, and business mentorship.
For women groups and small traders operating around Waithaka shopping areas and markets, I will advocate for cleaner and more organized trading spaces, better market support systems, and programs that help small businesses grow sustainably.
I also believe sports and talent are economic tools. Therefore, I will support youth tournaments, talent academies, and creative programs that keep young people productive while opening doors for careers and income generation.
