By John Kariuki

Kiambu County Woman Representative Hon Ann Wamuratha has once again demonstrated her deep commitment to grassroots empowerment through a transformative event that brought smiles, purpose and progress to local residents.

In a vibrant ceremony marked by music, culture and joy, Hon Wamuratha spearheaded the distribution of essential livelihood tools to hundreds of beneficiaries across the county. Among the items handed over were tents, salon kits including blow driers and aprons, trolleys, chafing dishes, juicers, shaving machines, boda boda helmets, umbrellas and reflectors, all aimed at enhancing small scale businesses and household enterprises.

“This is more than a donation, it is an investment in the dreams and dignity of our people,” said Hon Wamuratha during the handover. “We want every woman, every youth and every family to know that they matter and that we are walking with them in this journey toward economic independence.”

The event was also graced with a spirited traditional dance, adding a rich cultural touch that celebrated not only the empowerment of individuals but also the unity and heritage of the Kiambu community. The Woman Representative underscored that true development must blend modern opportunities with cultural identity, fostering a balanced and holistic transformation.

By providing tools that support entrepreneurship, safety and self-reliance, Hon Wamuratha continues to cement her leadership as one that listens, responds and uplifts. Her office has consistently prioritized programs that target vulnerable groups including women led businesses, youth enterprises and informal sector players.

“This is just the beginning,” she told the cheering crowd. “We are building a Kiambu where every resident has access to the tools they need to create a better life. We are here to ensure no one is left behind.”

Through such tangible acts of service, Hon Ann Wamuratha is setting a powerful example of people centered leadership. Her efforts reflect the promise of what is possible when elected leaders prioritize empowerment over politics and progress over promises.
