Who I am
A neighbour before anything else
I grew up in Eastlands, in Umoja, before life eventually brought me to Kileleshwa, where I have now lived for more than twenty years. Along the way I built a career in technology, starting and growing businesses from nothing, which taught me that you fix things by understanding them first, not by shouting about them.
What I have is a track record of building, a habit of following through, and a genuine belief that a community works better when the people building it show up consistently, not just when it is convenient.
This is what I think service should look like: calm, accountable, and close to the ground.

What I stand for
Three things I am working on
Everything I do in this community maps back to one of these.
Accountable Leadership
Leadership that answers to the people it serves, with visible follow-through, not just promises at election time.
A Ward That Works
Safety, cleanliness, and planning that make ordinary daily life in this community easier, not harder.
Youth Opportunity
Skills, mentorship, and a real path into entrepreneurship, built from what has actually worked for me.
Proof, not promises

Leadership like this should not depend on an election to matter. This is simply how I intend to keep showing up for this community.
