A Leader Rooted in the Community
Kaptembwo Ward, nestled in the heart of Nakuru Town West, is a vibrant and industrious hub teeming with life, culture, and resilience. It is home to countless women who work tirelessly to provide for their families and uplift their neighborhoods. These women are the Mama Mboga at roadside stalls, the salon owners styling hair with pride, the Mpesa shopkeepers ensuring smooth transactions, and the traders filling the markets with energy and enterprise.
Recognizing their untapped potential and vital role in the economy, Hon. Robinas Makana, a passionate leader and 2027 MP aspirant for Nakuru Town West Constituency, has stepped up to not just acknowledge their efforts—but to support, empower, and amplify their voices in meaningful ways.
Creating a Platform for Voices That Matter
For too long, the women of Kaptembwo have faced systemic barriers—lack of capital, limited access to decision-making spaces, insecure workspaces, and minimal representation in local policy dialogues. Hon. Makana understands that change must begin by listening to the people most affected and working directly with them to identify challenges and solutions.
By hosting a series of women’s engagement forums at his offices in Kenlands, Makana has opened his doors—literally and figuratively—to the women entrepreneurs of Kaptembwo. These forums provide a space where women can speak freely about their daily struggles in business, the policy gaps they face, and the kind of support they need to scale up their ventures.
What sets Makana apart is his active listening and immediate response. These forums are not box-ticking events—they are working sessions aimed at crafting actionable strategies to uplift women at the grassroots.
Tangible Impact: Business Support in Action
The results are already visible. From offering startup support to market traders, to pushing for improved infrastructure in local trading centers, Hon. Makana is committed to turning discussions into impact.
He has facilitated the formation of women’s business groups, connecting them with opportunities for micro-financing, business training, and access to county-level economic empowerment programs. In partnership with other local leaders and stakeholders, he has also championed efforts to ensure security and sanitation improvements in high-traffic market areas, making the environment safer and more conducive for women in trade.
Whether it’s a Mama Mboga struggling with cart levies, or a salon owner needing mentorship to grow her client base, Makana’s approach has been consistent: understand the need, design a solution, and implement it with the community involved.
Championing Women’s Leadership and Representation
Beyond business, Makana believes in building women into leaders. He regularly encourages women to take up leadership roles in local committees, business associations, and community-based organizations. Through mentorship and targeted leadership forums, he is helping create a pipeline of female voices ready to lead, not just follow.
“Empowering women economically is powerful—but empowering them politically and socially is transformational,” he stated during a recent women’s town hall. His belief is clear: when women thrive, the entire community rises.
Looking Ahead: The 2027 Vision for Nakuru Town West
As an aspirant for Member of Parliament in 2027, Hon. Robinas Makana envisions a Nakuru Town West where inclusivity, development, and leadership go hand in hand. His focus is not just on election promises but on real-time action that proves his commitment to the people.
His continuous engagement with Kaptembwo’s women business community is just one example of his wider mission—to create a constituency that is economically empowered, socially inclusive, and politically progressive.
Makana’s leadership style is grounded in service, empathy, and results. He is not waiting for office to bring change—he is already making it happen.
Conclusion: A Champion of Grassroots Change
