23-year-old cleaner proves critics wrong after being elected MCA in Kajiado

For lack of resources, the newly elected MCA used a door-to-door campaign strategy to reach voters.

"This is a God-given opportunity to serve my people, I still can't imagine that I'm the MCA elect for Matapato ward. Many of my friends neglected me thinking that it was just a joke, but I told them I was determined to win to their disbelief," said Osoi.

It is a double win for Osoi who got married just a few months before the elections. He was ridiculed for being too young and lacking wisdom to lead the people.

''They mocked me that I was not even married and therefore I can't lead. They also humiliated me for not having money for the campaign,'' says the incoming MCA.

His immediate priority is addressing water scarcity and uplifting education standards in his ward.

"The issue of water scarcity is a major challenge to our people while many young people are dropping out of class to certain challenges, which I seek to address once being sworn into office,'' pledged Osoi.

An accountant by profession, the MCA-elect further hopes to create employment opportunities for the youth whom he urged to emulate him.

''We are always reminded that we are leaders of tomorrow, let senior citizens know that tomorrow is today. It is the right time for us to stand up and be counted. Our age or wealth doesn't matter, what matters is hard work and trust in God," he stated.
