Tell us about your leadership journey.
I served as the Secretary General of Maseno University Students Association and later founded a political part, VIPA, which was a bridge for especially young people to venture into politics. I was also the Vice Chairman of FORA (Friends of Raila), one of the biggest lobby groups that campaigned for Raila Odinga in 2013 and 2017. Later after losing the Kitutu Chache South parliamentary election in 2017, then-Deputy President William Ruto appointed me as his advisor on Youth Affairs, which was a wonderful learning experience in government operations and, of course, his political brilliance rubbed on me.
