What Residents Are Saying

Real stories from Embakasi North residents about how development projects have impacted their lives and livelihoods.

"

My daughter received a bursary that changed everything. Without it, she wouldn't have gone to university. Now she's studying nursing and has a future ahead of her. I'm grateful to Hon. Gakuya for keeping his word.

"

The new classrooms at Kariobangi Primary have been transformative. We were operating with 80 pupils per class, which made teaching nearly impossible. Now we have space, order, and students can actually learn. The infrastructure matters.

The drainage upgrade saved my business. During the rainy season, water would flood my shop, destroying stock and equipment. Now the roads drain properly and my business is stable. It's not glamorous work, but it works.
