Kariobangi North has struggled with water shortages for years, and Geoffrey Owino Agutu, known as Babaa, has stepped in to tackle the problem in a direct and practical way.
Instead of waiting for others to act, he pushed for real solutions that have already brought relief to many families in the area.
As a resident who knows the daily challenges of Kariobangi North, Babaa understands how the lack of water has affected mothers, schoolchildren, workers, and entire households. Taps would go dry for long periods, forcing people to spend money on vendors or walk long distances just to fill a few containers. Seeing the suffering around him, he decided to act quickly and firmly.
He took the issue to a welfare board responsible for community services, even though the request was placed among hundreds of others waiting for attention.
Refusing to let the matter be ignored, Babaa kept pushing officials to respond. He followed up repeatedly, reminding them of the tough reality families were living with. His persistence paid off when three large water tanks were finally delivered to Kariobangi North.
These tanks now provide free clean water to residents, easing a burden that had lasted for far too long. For many people, the arrival of the tanks felt like a major victory.
What Babaa has done is more than just bringing water tanks. It reflects determination and accountability, qualities people want in a leader.
His actions show that he is willing to push until results are achieved. In his quest to become the MCA of Kariobangi North, his record already speaks for him. He has shown he cares, he listens, and he delivers.
An MCA has the power to fix roads, improve schools, push for better drainage, expand water connections, and support youth programs.
Kariobangi North needs someone who understands these problems from lived experience. Many residents now believe Babaa could bring long-term solutions, not just temporary fixes. With more authority, he could help secure permanent water systems, create job opportunities, and improve public spaces.
The water tanks are only the beginning of what he hopes to achieve for Kariobangi North, and many residents see him as the right person to drive meaningful change.
