UMOJA NI SISI CBO: FEEDING HOPE IN KOROGOCHO

We chose to CELEBRATE the UMOJA NI SISI Community Based Organisation for their outstanding service delivery in the Korogocho community.

UMOJA NI SISI CBO has won the hearts of many residents of Korogocho Slum, particularly the Children who are the beneficiaries of its feeding programs.
Every Saturday, the group ensures at least 952 children receive breakfast in Highridge Village, Samaki Road. This is thanks to the wonderful coordination team led by Jack Charles Kinyasa and Kennedy Macharia.

This is a community assignment that has been felt far and wide.

The Cost of Hope:
Breakfast alone requires a budget of not less than Kshs. 7,000 for a cup of porridge, mandazi and a banana for each child. On a good day, the group also serves lunch — rice and beans — at Kshs. 15,000, amounting to Kshs. 22,000 for both meals.

Other community members with special needs, the sick, the elderly and the homeless all get a share.

The spirit of feeding programs is not new in Korogocho. Most who were bred here can testify to being beneficiaries of programs by St. John Catholic Church, Undugu Society of Kenya (Kajumu), Kariobangi Youth Baptist Church among others that provided hope through the plates and calmed the pangs of hunger.

These are the stories that make our community a people-driven society. Serving porridge with integrity and hope that tomorrow will be better and reminding us that the power lies in sharing.

KOCH MIRROR MEDIA encourages UMOJA NI SISI CBO to continue with the good work — the impact is evident.

HOW TO SUPPORT:
Anyone willing to support can liaise with:
📞 Jack Charles Kinyasa - 0725083537
📞 Kennedy Macharia - 0725607720

Those supporting are encouraged to attend and serve the children as they enjoy the meals together.

FOODS, NUTRITION & HEALTH IN KOROGOCHO SLUM AND OTHER URBAN INFORMAL SETTLEMENTS IN NAIROBI

By KOCH MIRROR MEDIA | Investigative Feature by Daniel Omband.

Proper feeding and healthy diets are a standard requirement for all human beings. The right to food is at the top of the hierarchy of human basic needs.

A billionaire once said, _"Eat your food like medicine, because if you don't, you will eat your medicine like food." Good health depends on proper diet from fresh foods. The body must align from mindset, spiritual wellness, and physical structure through feeding, worship and exercise.

THE CRISIS IN THE SLUMS

In Korogocho Slum and many other Urban Informal Settlements in Nairobi, Food Security and Safety is a grey area that requires serious attention from government and non-governmental stakeholders.

Fixing food safety is the sure way to curb health problems from the root. Managing diseases by introducing expensive healthcare coverage as a mitigation plan is outdated.

The high demand for food due to dense population is the major root cause of unhealthy foods penetrating the market for unsuspecting customers.

THE CARTEL: FROM FACTORY WASTE TO OUR PLATES

Based on our assessment, UNHEALTHY FOOD is one of the most lucrative businesses in Korogocho and other informal settlements today.

Our sources have established a chain of command: from factory and food chain bosses, to transporters, to retailers at community level. Most of these foods leave company premises marked as "unfit for human consumption" and meant for animal feeds, but are hijacked on the way to dumping sites and transported to slums for sale.

Buyers are well known to managers. They pay for waste foods to be delivered. Most are either expired or contaminated during packaging, and therefore dangerous for human consumption.

This is not new. For example, in the early 2000s, chickens regarded as unfit for human consumption were dumped at the Dandora Dumping Site. Scavengers sold them to Korogocho residents as a cheap source of food. Retailers saw a business opportunity and tapped in. Demand grew, and sources were traced back to company managers. From that point, dumping trucks stopped being seen at Dandora.

Today, many companies, supermarkets and food chains are part of this cartel. Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) must take full responsibility and act swiftly to save our generation from slow poisoning. The effects might not be visible now, but they are real.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBILITY & MISUSE OF FOOD AID

The National Government has the responsibility of inspecting the foods its citizens consume. There are government food stores that can feed people without endangering lives.

It is absurd that food from government stores can be used as a campaign tool, as witnessed when relief food was distributed discriminatively at 3:00 AM to loyal supporters. This is unacceptable.

THE POSITIVE SIDE: SOLUTIONS FROM THE MTAA

KOCH MIRROR MEDIA has also established that there are key stakeholders practicing healthy food practices.

Organizations like African Population and Health Research Centre (APHRC) have empowered groups like Komb Green Solutions on Urban Farming, maximizing public spaces using organic methodologies. They plant kales (Sukuma wiki), indigenous vegetables, and practice fish farming.

Other forms include rearing rabbits, chickens, ducks, pigs, goats, and cows. Many residents have been encouraged to venture into urban farming to reduce food costs.

OUR CALL

KOCH MIRROR MEDIA's sole responsibility is to inform the general public and question relevant authorities. The government must take necessary measures to address healthy food challenges in informal settlements. We cannot jeopardize lives while healthy foods are paid for by Kenyan taxes. Bad leadership produces unhealthy communities.

This article is a call for accountability and not an attack on any individual. We are not biased but objectively obliged to speak on behalf of the voiceless. We condemn injustice and amplify positive projects impacting Korogocho residents.

THE NUMBERS BEHIND THE HANDSHAKE:
What the Broad-Based Government Has — and Hasn't Delivered

By Gabriel Omondi, Governance and Public Participation Advocate, Ruaraka - Korogocho
Kardinal Ominta

When President William Ruto and the late Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga signed their 10-point Memorandum of Understanding on 7th March 2025, the promise on offer was bigger than a cabinet reshuffle. Coming barely months after the Gen-Z-led anti-tax protests and against the backdrop of lingering post-election tension, the Broad-Based Government arrangement was sold to Kenyans as the framework for national healing, political inclusion and — crucially — economic stabilization.

John Mbadi's arrival at the Treasury and Hassan Joho's appointment to the Mining, Blue Economy and Maritime Affairs docket were meant to signal that this was more than an elite pact; it was — we were told — a coalition built to deliver shared prosperity.

More than a year on, with the government's own statistical agencies now producing a fuller picture, it is worth asking a straightforward question: What do the numbers actually say?

WHERE THE ARRANGEMENT CAN CLAIM CREDIT

To its credit, the period hasn't been one of macroeconomic chaos. Inflation has stayed comfortably within the CBK's 2.5%-7.5% target band, and the shilling has held up despite real external pressure from US trade tariffs to Middle East-linked oil price volatility.

Foreign exchange reserves climbed from around four months of import cover in early 2025 to roughly 5.4 months by January 2026 — above both Kenya's statutory minimum and the East African Community's convergence benchmark. Real GDP growth ticked up from 4.7% in 2024 to an estimated 5.0% in 2025, helped along by mining, construction and financial services.

Parliament, for its part, has moved budget and finance bills with noticeably less friction than the gridlock of 2023-2024, and enrolment under the Social Health Authority has expanded well past the roughly 8 million Kenyans who were covered under the old NHIF.

These are real, measurable achievements, and the arrangement's supporters are entitled to point them out.

WHERE THE STORY FALLS APART

But a fair reading of the same data complicates the narrative considerably.

Start with the growth itself: Kenya's expansion was already decelerating — from 5.7% in 2023 to 4.7% in 2024 — before the MoU was even signed, and the projection of 4.6% is a step down from 2025. It is difficult to credit a political pact with a growth trajectory that was softening beforehand and is projected to soften again. Much of what stability we do see tracks global trends in oil and food prices as closely as it tracks anything happening in Nairobi.

The fiscal picture is more troubling still. The deficit is forecast to widen to 6.1% of GDP against a 4.0% medium-term target, with interest payments alone now consuming roughly 1/3 of tax revenue — a structural drag that squeezes exactly the development and social spending the arrangement claims to champion.

Then there is the labour market, which is where the inclusion promise meets its hardest test. Of the 782,300 jobs created in 2024, 90% were informal — work without stable wages, benefits or security. Official unemployment sits at 5.2%, but that figure sits uneasily alongside the Federation of Kenyan Employers' estimate that youth joblessness (age 15-34) is as high as 67%. No published indicator shows that gap narrowing since March 2025.

Poverty remains at 39.9% and the Gini coefficient at 0.37, with no trend data yet showing meaningful movement on either front.

Perhaps most tellingly, public perception is moving in the opposite direction from the official growth story. Independent polling shows 79% of Kenyans feel the cost of living has worsened, while Afrobarometer data finds 76% rate the government poorly on job creation and 79% on narrowing the gap between the poor and the rich. A pact whose central promise was broadly shared prosperity should, at a minimum, be bending these numbers the other way.

Implementation oversight has also visibly weakened. The monitoring committee set up in August 2025 to track the 10-point agenda was given only a six-month mandate, and momentum reportedly slowed further after the demise of Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga in October 2025 — raising an uncomfortable question about whether the arrangement's follow-through depended more on personal political relationships than on institutional commitment. And for all the talk of inclusion, the gains remain concentrated at the national executive and Cabinet level, with little evidence yet of a matching boost to county-level economic output or Gross County Product.

WHAT SHOULD FOLLOW

None of this means the arrangement has failed outright — macro-stability and reduced legislative gridlock are not nothing. But it does mean that the government owes citizens a more honest accounting than aggregate GDP and inflation figures allow.

1. Treasury and the oversight committee should publish a disaggregated scorecard tied specifically to the 10-point agenda — jobs created by status, county-level growth — rather than leaning on macro indicators that would likely have moved similarly with or without the pact.
2. Future budgets should set explicit formal-employment targets, especially for the youth, instead of citing raw job-creation totals.
3. The monitoring committee's mandate should be renewed and extended beyond six months, insulated from shifts in political leadership.
4. The fiscal slippage needs a credible, published consolidation path.
5. Statisticians should consider a cost-of-living-adjusted household income indicator to sit alongside GDP, since the gap between official figures and lived experience is now too wide to ignore.
6. And unemployment reporting badly needs a single transparent methodology, given how far apart the official 5.2% and FKE's 67% youth estimate sit.

Kenyans were promised that political inclusion at the top would translate into economic inclusion at the bottom. The data available so far suggests the first has happened; the second has not — at least not yet, and not in a way numbers can currently prove.

INVESTING IN HUMANITY IS THE GREATEST INVESTMENT.
It is a privilege to be here with you. To share this memorable moments with INUE K**E INITIATIVE and the beneficiaries of the project.
I can see the beautiful faces of Korogocho people warming up the room.
I know most of you know me and you are wondering how come I am the one representing the Ward Administrator on this platform!
I would like to challenge everyone here to understand the Roles of the Ward Administrator and The area Member of County Assembly before worrying about as to why I'm at that capacity. The duty was duly delegated to me for this special occasion.
Secondly, I would like to challenge everyone to be attending the public participation forums in Budget making processes. That's where you'll understand what has been allocated where and you can be able to question what you understand. Accountability starts at the family level to the government institutions. It is our duty to instill the values of accountability as early as possible from our families, schools to the offices that bear the responsibilities.

It is Important to note that I'm a student of communication and our first presenter Mr. Joseph talked about EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION being key in having a healthy and peaceful family, community & country.
Unfortunately, my eyes haven't scanned the BOY CHILD the so called "PERPETRATORS" in the room who are graduates of the program even though I can see several male parents and leaders in the Room. It is important you involve them too even at this level. But I'll understand it is the 1st Female-Led Advocacy For Accountability & Action (County level)
Today, I'm here on behalf of the Ward administrator Mr. Nicholas Lemayang but I also wear the cap/hat of KOCH MIRROR MEDIA and it is important to amplify whatever INUAK**E is doing in the community.
Now that we have CHAMPIONS of Sexual Gender Based Violence (SGBV) trained by INUAK**E powered by IJM.
I believe the gospel will spread far and wide. Change starts with the few who make commitments.
Ward office is here to reaffirm its commitment in supporting the VOICES and organised groups Championing survivors of gender based violence in Korogocho ward & Ruaraka Sub-County at large.
Commitment to Gender Mainstreaming and support for Vulnerable and Underserved residents.

OPINION: GOVERNANCE & ENERGY POLICY
The Lights That Never Came On
_Ruto's Korogocho Power Directive and the Limits of Political Promises_

By Gabriel Omondi Kardinal Ominta
_Community Governance & Public Participation Advocate, Ruaraka_

In February 2026, President Ruto visited Korogocho and other informal settlements in Nairobi amid the fanfare of a new National Government-Nairobi County cooperation agreement. In the presence of the CS Energy and local leadership, the President directed the restoration and formalisation of electricity supply. The broader plan allocated Ksh 1.5B for transformers and last-mile connection in informal settlements, alongside prepaid bulk metering frameworks. Specific timelines were later announced for areas including Korogocho, Kibra, Gathere, and Kamukunji.

Months later, many residents report little tangible change. Power remains unreliable, illegal connections persist, and the promised formalisation feels distant. The easy assumption is that Korogocho is simply "not commercially viable" - a low-revenue, high-risk zone that Kenya Power would rather avoid. The real story is a familiar mix of political optics, structural barriers in dense informal settlements, and chronic implementation failures that have plagued electrification efforts for years.

Political Directives Versus Delivery Reality
Presidential visits to informal settlements generate powerful imagery: the Head of State walking dusty paths, promising dignity and basic services while flanked by the Energy CS and local leaders. The February announcements and the April follow-ups, including commitments to begin work in Hospital Ward and expand to Korogocho and others within 90 days, fit this pattern. Yet Kenya has a long record of high-profile launches that stall once the cameras leave.

Parliamentary committees have repeatedly flagged slow progress on the Last Mile Connectivity Programme, with reports of projects recording only single-digit completion rates in some periods, materials vanishing after official visits, and uneven regional delivery.

Informal settlements compound these problems. Dense layouts, insecure land tenure, limited space for poles and transformers, and security concerns make conventional grid extension difficult and expensive. Kenya Power has historically struggled with high technical and commercial losses in these areas - sometimes exceeding 50% in pockets due to theft and overloaded networks. Meanwhile, residents often pay cartels more for unsafe, intermittent supply than formal customers pay legally - in some cases up to 150% more, as the President himself noted.

Long-standing Challenges That Directives Alone Cannot Erase
Korogocho and similar settlements illustrate the depth of the problem. Studies and residents' accounts over the years show widespread informal connections managed by local networks. These deliver some power but at high risk: overloaded transformers, frequent outages, electrocution - often unreported - and deadly fires. Connections, even when subsidised, remain prohibitive for many low-income households with irregular income. Shared meters and landlord intermediaries create further friction and opportunities for exploitation.

Kenya Power faces a genuine commercial dilemma. Lighting and phone-charging loads generate little revenue compared to industrial or formal residential customers. Staff access for metering, maintenance, and disconnection is constrained by density and, at times, hostility. Previous attempts at regularisation have been uneven, sometimes involving transformer recovery or partial clean-ups that simply push illegal activity elsewhere. Broader systemic pressures - national capacity constraints, delayed generation projects, and funding disruptions - further slow last-mile work.

Treating the issue as one of pure "feasibility" or resident demand misses the point. Demand exists. People already pay for power, often at a premium and at personal risk. The barriers are institutional, technical, and political.

Feasible Paths Forward
Symbolic directives must give way to practical, sequenced interventions that acknowledge the realities of informal settlements:

a) Properly designed bulk metering with community ownership
b) Hybrid technical solutions
c) Lower the cost and complexity of formal connection
d) Accountability and phased transparency
e) Address the cartels and safety risks head-on

Conclusion
Electricity in places like Korogocho is not a luxury or a favour. It is foundational for safety, small-business activities, education, and health. Political directives can set direction and unlock resources, but they cannot substitute for sustained technical planning, realistic commercial models, and genuine accountability.

Six months after the announcement, residents are still waiting for the effects.
The measure of success will not be another high-profile visit. It will be whether the lights stay on, the connections are safe and legal, and the cost is fair. Until then, the gap between the announcement and lived reality remains a critique of governance more than of the settlements themselves.

RUARAKA CONSTITUENCY OPINION POLLS
By KOCH MIRROR MEDIA

A quick online survey conducted by Koch Mirror Media on the preferred candidate for the Ruaraka constituency parliamentary seat has left the political class shell-shocked—and the people quietly nodding. The outcome doesn’t reflect the deafening campaign energy on the ground. It reflects something far more potent: a silent, swelling wave of trust.

More seasoned politicians—including the incumbent, Honourable Tom Kajwang’, a man who has walked the corridors of power for years—were easily beaten by a name many in the political commentariat had to google. That name is Victor Owiti Ogwellah, the Ruaraka Sub-County children’s officer, a man who will be making his debut on the political scene. And if this poll is the first verse, the Ruaraka political hymn book is about to be rewritten.

Who is Victor Owiti Ogwellah?

He is not an import. He is not a project. Victor is a son of Ruaraka, born and raised in the gritty, hopeful streets of Baba Dogo ward. He has lived the better part of his life in the crucibles of Korogocho, Babadogo, and Mathare North Ward—places where survival is a daily election and hope is the only currency that doesn’t depreciate. He didn’t study the constituency from a manifesto PDF; he inhaled its dust, cried with its widows, and celebrated the small wins of its orphans.

To many who haven’t been caught up on the legal issues related to children, orphans, and vulnerable children’s departments, Victor is little known. But to the thousands of desperate mothers who have walked into a Sub-County office clutching a child’s future in a tattered file, Victor Owiti Ogwellah is the face of a system that finally listened. He is the civil servant who made the state feel like a father, not a machine.

In a telling administrative move that now reads like divine positioning, Victor was moved from the Ruaraka Sub-County offices located at the Drive-in to the 10th floor of Nyayo House. There, he currently discharges his duties from his Nairobi North Region office, coordinating children’s services across Starehe, Kamukunji, Ruaraka, Kasarani, Roysambu, and Mathare sub-counties. That is six constituencies. That is a daily masterclass in the mosaic of urban pain and promise. He has already been serving Ruaraka—just without the title of MP.

Why are the people preferring him?

His social and public relations skills have worn the hearts of many people, especially those whom politics forgot. You won’t find his name on billboards, but you will find it etched in the gratitude of a teenage mother he helped return to school. You won’t see his convoy snaking through the ward, but you’ll hear his footsteps in the corridors of a children’s rescue centre at midnight.

Victor doesn’t campaign with decibels; he campaigns with presence. In a constituency traumatized by broken promises, that presence is a rare peace. The poll didn’t surprise the people of Korogocho. It only exposed what they already knew: that leadership isn’t the noise you make on a podium, but the silence you keep beside the hurting. David has picked up his stone, and the Goliaths of political machinery are still adjusting their armour.

Which party will he be introducing himself with?

That question hums through the constituency like an unresolved chord. Victor Owiti Ogwellah has not yet unveiled his political vehicle, but those close to him whisper of a movement, not just a party. His heart beats for a platform that will allow him to protect his authentic, service-first identity—possibly a community-anchored party or a coalition that values the welfare of the vulnerable over the calculations of kingpins. Whatever colour he wears, he will wear it as a son of the people, not a tenant of a party.

What are his plans for the people of Ruaraka constituency if elected?

Victor’s vision is stitched together by the very files he has handled for years. He intends to turn Ruaraka into a model constituency for child protection, youth opportunity, and family dignity. His plans include:

· A Constituency Children’s Rescue & Empowerment Fund that moves beyond reaction to prevention—ensuring no orphan in Baba Dogo or Mathare North sleeps hungry or misses school due to lack of fees.
· Youth Skill and Dignity Hubs in every ward, transforming idle hands into artisans, coders, and creative entrepreneurs. He has seen the fire in these young people; he wants to hand them a torch.
· Mental Health and Grassroots Counselling Desks built into ward offices, because he knows the trauma of poverty doesn’t wait for a government circular.
· Ward-based legal aid clinics for the vulnerable, so that justice is not a luxury sold in the city centre.
· Transparent, participatory budgeting where the people of Korogocho and Babadogo sit at the table—not just as voters, but as co-authors of their destiny.

These are not fantasy items. They are the legislative extensions of a life already lived in service.

What are his campaign strategies?

Victor Owiti Ogwellah’s campaign strategy is as subversive as it is simple: he is campaigning through the capillaries of the constituency, not the arteries. Door-to-door listening sessions. Kitchen conversations with widows in Mathare North. Night vigils with families waiting for a child’s rescue. He is activating the network of child protection volunteers, community health workers, and reformed youth he has walked with for years. It is a campaign of whisper, not wail—of witness, not billboard.

His strategy is to turn every saved child, every assisted grandmother, every legally-rescued minor into a walking testimony. And in a constituency where hope has been repeatedly auctioned to the highest bidder, testimony is the only currency that still buys votes.

The seasoned politicians may yet underestimate the children’s officer from Nyayo House. They shouldn’t. Ruaraka is not looking for a politician to crown. It is looking for a servant to recognize. And for the first time in a long time, it has found one wearing its own dust.

KOCH MIRROR MEDIA is not beating the drums of Victor Owiti Ogwellah but recognising the Voice of the people and digging deeper to understand the Candidate in question. Our main mandate is to Amplify, tell Stories and build impacts that are worthy of community consumption.
Civic education is a key pillar to sound leadership. As the community is preparing to exercise their civic duty in the upcoming elections in 2027, KOCH MIRROR MEDIA will be highlighting every Candidate and looking deeply in what they intend to offer for the constituents once power is delegated to them.

We are open to divergent opinions.
