Professionals and youth leaders were among the stakeholders he engaged with in Machakos, even as he announced plans to engage the President on various issues, key among them the onboarding of the community into the broad-based government.

He emphasized that the Kamba community is an integral part of Kenya and must take a proactive role in national development by harnessing their potential, seizing available opportunities, and positioning themselves as key contributors to Kenyaβs progress.
