“I am vying for the parliamentary seat in North Imenti because I want to work and add voice to the few voices in our Parliament that have fought for the rights of children and human rights for woman to take root in Kenya. I have worked with people who live in abject poverty in my constituency: the majority of them are women. It is not because they are not hard working--it is because the structure of our institutions favors men more than women. I have worked with orphans, and the orphan girl is more vulnerable than the orphan boy. I want to be a leader who partners with others in this country, in Africa, and the world at large, in order to build institutions and put in place systems that empower people to free themselves from the shackles of poverty, disease, and violence.” Visit Karambu.com
