Two Nakuru civil rights activists who have been keeping the national and county governments in check have now turned to politics in a bid to directly push for reforms.

Dr Magare Gikenyi, a surgeon and Laban Omusundi, a painter have been filing both public and court petitions to indirectly push for policies, reforms and to point out unconstitutional conduct in the government.
