Your questions, answered.

The heartbeat of Nakuru County lies in our micro-traders, mama mbogas, and skilled youth. Our administration's commitment to economic freedom meant shifting away from roadside trading into modern, safe, and secure environments.

By delivering ultra-modern market spaces across Nakuru Town East, Naivasha, Gilgil, and Njoro, we have provided over 600 traders with clean stalls, reliable water, and electricity. Concurrently, our heavy investments in Vocational Training Centres (VTCs) across the county have equipped thousands of youth with technical certifications and direct startup tools. Combined with the affordable credit lines from the Wezesha Biashara Fund, we aren't just giving promises—we are building a self-sustaining economy from the ground up.

For 40 years, key health infrastructure across Nakuru sat silent due to a lack of political goodwill. Our administration rewrote that history by allocating an unprecedented 40% of our annual budget to health systems.

The ultimate symbol of this commitment was the upgrading and operationalization of the theatre at Bondeni Maternal Level 4 Hospital, which successfully conducted its first-ever Cesarean Section after four decades of dormancy. We have paired these infrastructure leaps with the creation of Primary Care Networks (PCNs) in all sub-counties and an Integrated Specimen Referral System. This means whether you visit a clinic in rural Kuresoi or central Nakuru City, you are guaranteed essential medicines, timely lab results, and high-quality maternal care.

From Subsistence to Surplus: Driving Wealth Creation for Nakuru Farmers

Agriculture is the backbone of Nakuru, and our mission is to ensure our farmers move from agonizing over input costs to enjoying profitable yields. Under our Agriculture Transformation Drive, the county has expanded the distribution of certified, high-yield avocado and potato seedlings to thousands of households.

Through strategic partnerships like the CASCADE project, we have scaled up Farmer Field and Business Schools to train our farming cooperatives on smart climate adaptation and modern post-harvest storage. By installing cold rooms and organizing dairy and crop farmers into unified cooperatives, we are protecting local producers from middle-man exploitation and securing direct export markets for Nakuru's bounty.

Nakuru County is a historic powerhouse of sporting talent, and our youth deserve facilities that match their ambition. Our administration has officially finalized Phase One of the iconic Afraha Stadium, fully equipped with a world-class international tartan track and a premium football pitch.

Beyond the city limits, we have broken ground on the Olenguruone Stadium in Kuresoi South to decentralize sports infrastructure and scout rural talent early. Complemented by grassroots initiatives like the Governor's Cup, these stadiums are designed to turn sports into a highly lucrative career path for our youth, while attracting massive sports tourism into Nakuru County.

Why H.E. Susan Kihika Remains the True Champion for Nakuru’s Grassroots Transformation

When H.E. Governor Susan Kihika stepped forward to lead Nakuru County, she carried a sacred mandate: “Nothing for us, without us.” Today, as we evaluate the trajectory of our great county, that mandate has translated into historical, undeniable progress that touches the lives of the common citizen across all 55 wards.

True leadership is not measured by empty political rhetoric; it is measured by the dignity brought to a mother delivering in our 93 expanded maternity units, the clean water flowing from our 92 solarized county boreholes, and the daily bread earned by our traders operating in the newly built ultra-modern market sheds from Naivasha to Njoro. By committing an unprecedented 40% of the annual budget to healthcare, Governor Kihika proved that the well-being of Nakuru's families comes before political convenience.

Our children are staying in school thanks to a robust School Feeding (Uji) Program that feeds over 65,000 learners, backed by over Sh952 million in equitably distributed bursaries. Our farmers are reaping higher rewards as the county scales up subsidized agricultural inputs, cooling plants, and value-addition chains for avocado, potato, and dairy cooperatives.

The foundational pillars have been laid. The infrastructure is visible. As we march toward the General Election, the choice for Nakuru is clear: sustaining a track record of real work, economic empowerment, and inclusive leadership under H.E. Susan Kihika. Let us keep Nakuru moving forward!

When we promised accessible healthcare for the common people of Nakuru, we backed it with real action. Our administration dedicated an unprecedented 40% of the county budget purely to health services. This funding has successfully operationalized rural health centers like the Kiptororo Level 4 Hospital, launched primary care networks across all wards, and completely digitized our pharmaceutical supply chain. By keeping local clinics stocked and modernizing maternity units, we are ensuring that quality medical care is a right for every family in Nakuru, not a privilege.

True economic empowerment starts at the grassroots level. To help our micro-traders, youth groups, and women cooperatives escape predatory lending, we established the flagship Wezesha Biashara Fund alongside the Cooperative Development Revolving Fund (CDRF). These initiatives provide low-interest, reliable credit to thousands of small businesses across all 11 sub-counties. Combined with our new ultra-modern market sheds, we are actively giving Nakuru's entrepreneurs the tools they need to achieve complete financial independence.

Nakuru is an agricultural powerhouse, and our farmers deserve to reap maximum profits for their hard work. Through our Agriculture Transformation Drive, the county has distributed thousands of high-yield certified avocado and potato seedlings to local households. By introducing localized Farmer Field Schools in partnership with the CASCADE project and constructing modern cold-storage facilities, we are helping our agricultural cooperatives cut post-harvest losses, defeat exploitation by middlemen, and gain direct access to international markets.

Our youth have boundless talent, and our administration is building the sports infrastructure to match their dreams. We are incredibly proud to have completed Phase One of the historic Afraha Stadium, featuring an international-standard tartan track. Furthermore, our new ground-breaking at Olenguruone Stadium ensures that rural talent is scouted and developed early. Backed by the competitive matches of the annual Governor’s Cup, we are officially turning sports from a pastime into a highly profitable career path for Nakuru's youth.
