Masinde Nguti’s Community Support Efforts Draw Attention in Kimilili

By Godfrey Wamalwa 

Masinde Nguti, a parliamentary aspirant in Kimilili, has continued to attract public interest through a series of community support initiatives that residents say have made a noticeable impact across the constituency.

Nguti, who has been active in local welfare efforts for several years, is frequently mentioned in schools, market centres, and rural villages for providing assistance to families facing financial strain. Parents and teachers in several institutions report that he has contributed to school fees for learners at risk of dropping out, often following up to ensure the students remain in class and continue with their studies.

In various neighbourhoods, families facing medical emergencies say he has stepped in to help with hospital bills and referrals, particularly in cases where immediate financial support was required. Community members also recount instances where he has contributed to welfare needs such as food support, home repairs for vulnerable households, and contributions during funerals.

Youth groups in Kimilili describe him as a regular participant in their activities, noting that he has supported small start-up initiatives ranging from agribusiness ventures to boda-boda savings schemes. Several youth leaders say his involvement has mainly focused on providing seed capital, linking young people to training opportunities, and offering guidance on income-generating projects.

Residents who have interacted with him attribute his approach to what they describe as a longstanding connection with grassroots communities. Many recall that his engagement began years before he entered the political space, often responding to individual requests brought directly to him.

While Nguti’s political ambitions have placed him in the public eye, his activities in education, health-related assistance, and youth empowerment remain central to conversations among locals. As the campaign season approaches, his track record in community support continues to be referenced by residents assessing the profiles of emerging candidates.

The full scope of his impact, however, remains a subject of ongoing public discussion as Kimilili moves closer to the next general election.
