Pillar 01

Education

Fair Education Opportunities and Transparent NG-CDF Bursaries

Education is the greatest equaliser, yet many families in Mumias West struggle to keep their children in school due to lack of school fees. As your MP, I will ensure that NG-CDF resources are managed fairly, transparently and reach the students who need them most.

—Ensure fair and transparent distribution of NG-CDF bursaries across all wards

—Increase bursary allocation for needy students to reduce school dropouts

—Support the construction of classrooms, laboratories and libraries in schools

—Provide water, sanitation and electricity in learning institutions

—Establish a constituency scholarship programme for top-performing students from disadvantaged backgrounds

—Launch mentorship programmes linking students to professionals and role models

—Promote digital learning and ICT infrastructure in schools

—Support strengthening of technical and vocational training institutions (TVETs) to prepare youth for employment

Every child in Mumias West deserves a quality education that opens doors to a better future.

Pillar 02

Agriculture

Reviving Agriculture and Protecting Sugarcane Farmers

Agriculture is the backbone of Mumias West. Our farmers work hard but continue to struggle with delayed payments, expensive farm inputs and unreliable markets. As your Member of Parliament, restoring dignity and income to our farmers will be my top priority.

—Champion the full revival and sustainable management of Mumias Sugar Company to secure reliable markets for sugarcane farmers

—Fight for timely payment of sugarcane farmers and fair pricing for their produce

—Lobby for subsidised fertiliser and quality seeds for farmers across Mumias West

—Promote crop diversification including maize, beans, horticulture, poultry and dairy farming

—Support farmer cooperatives to strengthen bargaining power and market access

—Promote agro-processing and value addition enterprises so farmers earn more from their produce

—Support modern farming training and extension services to improve productivity

—Encourage youth participation in agribusiness to create jobs and transform agriculture

A thriving agricultural sector means food security, better incomes and a stronger Mumias West for generations to come.

Pillar 03

Healthcare

Restoring Dignity, Access, and Trust in Our Health System

In Mumias West today, falling sick is not just a health issue — it is a financial burden. Too many people walk long distances to find care. Too many facilities have no doctors, no drugs, or no equipment. Too many mothers still risk their lives while giving life. The closure of key facilities such as the St. Mary's Hospital has only made things worse. This is not acceptable. Healthcare is a right — and under my leadership, we will restore dignity, access, and trust in our health system.

—Reopen, upgrade, and equip health facilities across all wards so that care is accessible and reliable

—Ensure constant availability of essential drugs in all public health centres — no more empty shelves

—Lobby for more doctors, nurses, and medical staff to reduce long queues and improve service delivery

—Strengthen maternal and child healthcare services to protect mothers and ensure safe deliveries

—Promote affordable healthcare and reliable insurance access so that no patient is turned away

—Introduce mobile clinics and community outreach programs to bring services closer to rural communities

—Expand programs addressing mental health, drug abuse, and preventive care, especially among the youth

—Support simple digital systems to reduce waiting time, improve records, and enhance efficiency in facilities

A healthy people is a productive people — and a strong Mumias West begins with healthy families.

Pillar 04

Youth & Jobs

Youth Jobs, Skills and Economic Opportunities

Youth unemployment is one of the biggest challenges facing Mumias West today. Many young people have energy, talent and ambition but lack opportunities. I will focus on creating real economic opportunities for our youth.

—Promote skills development through TVET institutions and vocational training programmes

—Connect youth to government funds such as the Youth Enterprise Fund and Hustler Fund

—Support youth entrepreneurship and small business startups

—Expand sports and talent development programmes to nurture youth talent

—Promote agribusiness opportunities for young people

—Support digital economy opportunities such as online work and ICT skills training

—Encourage private sector investment that creates jobs for local youth

—Establish programmes that help youth transition from education to employment or business

Investing in our youth is investing in the future of Mumias West.

Pillar 05

Security

Security for Our Markets, Villages and Communities

Security is a growing concern in many parts of Mumias West, with cases of theft, livestock rustling and insecurity in markets and trading centres. A safe community allows businesses to grow and families to live with dignity.

—Lobby for increased police presence and additional police posts in security hotspots

—Strengthen community policing programmes involving residents and local leaders

—Promote youth engagement programmes that reduce crime and create positive opportunities

A secure Mumias West is a productive Mumias West, where families feel safe and businesses can thrive.

Pillar 06

Infrastructure

Roads, Markets and Infrastructure for Economic Growth

Poor roads remain a major challenge in Mumias West, especially during rainy seasons when many roads become impassable and farmers cannot transport their produce to markets. Improving infrastructure will unlock economic growth and improve everyday life for residents.

—Lobby the national government to tarmac key roads connecting major trading centres in Mumias West

—Prioritise improvement of feeder roads used by farmers to transport produce

Good infrastructure is the foundation of development, connecting our people to opportunity and our produce to markets.

Pillar 07

Local Economy

Local Economic Development and Support for Small Businesses

Small businesses, traders and informal sector workers are the backbone of the Mumias West economy. From market traders to boda boda operators, many hardworking residents struggle with limited capital, poor market facilities and unfair business conditions.

—Lobby for the construction and modernisation of markets across Mumias West with proper stalls, sanitation facilities and lighting

—Promote access to affordable financing through government funds such as the Hustler Fund, Youth Fund and Women Enterprise Fund

—Support boda boda operators and transport sector workers through training, safety initiatives and financial services

—Work to attract private investment and new industries that can create jobs for local residents

—Promote value addition enterprises especially in agriculture such as maize milling, dairy processing and sugarcane by-products

By strengthening small businesses and entrepreneurship, we can create sustainable jobs and improve household incomes across the constituency.

Pillar 08

Environment

Environmental Protection, Sanitation and Climate Resilience

A clean and healthy environment is essential for the wellbeing of our communities. Many areas of Mumias West face challenges such as poor waste management, environmental degradation and the impact of changing weather patterns on farming.

—Promote proper waste management systems in markets, trading centres and towns

—Support tree planting initiatives to restore degraded areas and protect our environment

—Advocate for clean and safe drainage systems to reduce flooding and waterborne diseases
