Vision

A productive, healthy, competitive, and thriving Kuria East Constituency.

Preamble
Fellow Kuria East Constituents,
Greetings!

My name is Makena Mwita, a resident of Kuria-East Constituency; born and raised in

Chinato Village to peasant farmers. In the upcoming General Elections of 9th August
2022 I have presented myself as a Candidate for the position of Member of National
Assembly (commonly ‘MP’) in Kuria East Constituency. I made this decision to offer
alternative leadership in the Constituency having grown up here, experienced the
challenges first-hand and also having traveled widely abroad where I have learnt about
best practices in developed democracies.

My vision for our Constituency is to see an inclusive, people-centered and approachable

leadership that will ensure prosperity and growth in terms of Infrastructure,
Education,Economic Development ,Security and Social wellbeing of our people. These
will be my anchor issues that I hope to focus on to spur growth and development in Kuria
East Constituency.

Over the past few years, I have mentored dozens of young people across Kuria East
Constituency, have shared with them national and international education opportunities
and helped many through their academic challenges. In addition, I started a monthly book
club within the constituency, whose vision is to raise the literacy levels of students in
Kuria East and position them to adequately compete nationally and globally. Through my
foundation; the Mwita Monanka Foundation, we have assisted over 150 (One hundred
and fifty) bright and needy students with School Shopping vouchers annually and I hope
to continue with this in the years to come. I have also extended social support to women,
widows, persons living with disability, the old, and many vulnerable groups in Kuria East
Constituency.

My candidacy is about hope, alternative leadership, the people, honesty, transparency and
accountability, representation at the national assembly, service and above all servant
leadership. It is my dream that you, the People of Kuria East will walk with me in this
journey towards 9th August, 2022 and beyond and it’s my undertaking to you that I shall
not fail you.

God Bless Kuria East, God Bless Kenya!

MAKENA MWITA.
