Epic stories have been told of people who give the word SHUJAA meaning especially within the concept of our new constitutional dispensation.  Often times, the question would linger, really, who’s a Shujaa? In January, I found ourselves in a situation in which we needed God to send us a Shujaa. That's how I met Hon Tim Wanyonyi. I worked very hard not to tear in his office out of frustration, though,  having heard him speak & give out bursaries from his own fund,  had given me confidence enough at least to share my vision for Cheleta Primary  School. This I did, as he keenly listened to me.  "Madam, go and do your part, will help you.” This statement banished the cloud of hopelessness that would engulf me every morning as I prepared to go to a school in Runda Westlands whose facilities were an eyesore. Now, Mhesh, Daddy, Papa as children in the entire Westlands Constituency fondly refer to him is a leader to watch.  He's one leader who's focused ...

How many times have you heard someone use the term, open mind? “Let’s approach this with an open mind.” I expect that, like me, you have heard it countless times, used by countless people, in countless settings. Add to this the number of occasions when the words were used, and we didn’t even notice. Having an open mind certainly includes being receptive to different ideas and opinions in a given situation. But, I would also argue that this definition stops far short of the term’s infinitely deeper meaning. Indeed having an open mind can be a vital, enduring and endlessly rewarding part of how you interpret and engage people, situations and ideas.  For the Westlands MP Hon Tim Wanyonyi having an open mind is a deeply embedded part of his value system. A positive driving force behind his actions, and a hallmark of what gives him a sense of purpose. Many are the times that you can pick out without a struggle how Hon Tim Wanyonyi derives great joy in ...

Say what you will about Westlands MP Hon Tim Wanyonyi, but unlike the many Westlands legislators who preceded him, he cares about what is best for the greater good of his constituents. He truly does represent The Westlands People. His actions have always been motivated by a sincere desire to do what is best for the majority within Westlands Constituency, even if it meant losing ground with the wealthy, influential or powerful minority. An aspect witnessed in his relentless reclaiming of public land such as Peponi Riparian Land, Bhora Primary School Land, Westlands Primary School Land as well as stopping construction activities on a water reservoir at Loresho estate in Nairobi are a manifest of this statements.
