Alfred Mutua from the Cabinet led key talks about growth plans for the Kamba community at Ol Donyo Sapuk Resort in Machakos County. Important figures joined him, including politicians, government workers, experts, and members of the Ukambani Agenda Technical Team. They built on ideas from their earlier gathering at Maanzoni. The main goal focused on making a clear plan for money growth, leadership chances, and better roads in their area.
Mutua stressed how Kamba leaders must stand together when facing regional problems. Several elected officials attended, such as Kibwezi West MP Mwengi Mutuse, Machakos Town MP Caleb Mule, Masinga MP Joshua Mwalyo, and Senator Beth Syengo. Many local representatives and technical experts also participated. The group wants to make sure their plans match what people actually need in their communities.
Leaders announced they would travel throughout Machakos, Makueni, and Kitui counties to speak directly with residents. These visits will extend to areas with large Kamba populations, like Nairobi, Mombasa, Kilifi, Taveta, Embu, and Kwale. They hope to hear firsthand from community members about their concerns and use this feedback to shape better planning. These direct conversations should help create more effective solutions.
The meeting highlighted the importance of strengthening the Kamba people through better leadership and job skills. The leaders promised to push for more Kamba representatives in important sectors. They believe having more people at decision-making tables in both government and private companies matters greatly. Mutua explained that helping people gain power over their futures remains essential for real progress to happen.
The group listed the top concerns as roads, schools, and jobs that need immediate attention. Everyone agreed that open processes and taking responsibility should guide all work aimed at improving life. They decided to meet with President William Ruto to share their plans for growth. Topics will include fixing roads, improving schools, providing clean water, bringing electricity to more homes, and creating jobs for young people.
Leaders also want more help for small business owners, easier access to loans, and increased numbers of Kamba professionals working within the Kenya Kwanza government. They emphasized programs for young people as another critical area. Understanding that youth shape future success, the group plans to start mentoring programs and skill training to prepare them for leadership roles and good careers later. Mutua warned that failing to invest in young people would hurt long-term progress.
The upcoming Maanzoni 2 meeting should strengthen these plans and provide space for more talks. This follow-up gathering aims to ensure the group implements all agreed strategies on time. Everyone left feeling unified about moving forward with clear goals for helping the entire Kamba region develop and thrive through specific, actionable steps that benefit all community members.
