Read Time:3 Minute, 11 Second
Hon. Robinas Makana, a notable alumnus of Egerton University and an emerging force in Nakuru politics, took center stage yesterday as he addressed Gusii student leaders.
At an event commemorating the end of the university’s cultural week, Makana was not only honored by the students but entrusted with the launch of the Gusii Egerton University Students Association (GEUSA) Welfare Association, a pivotal initiative aimed at empowering students facing financial hardships.
Makana, poised to unseat the incumbent Nakuru Town West MP Samuel Arama in the upcoming 2027 election, sent a clear message about his dedication to youth and education.
He announced his full sponsorship of the GEUSA registration, emphasizing that this was just the beginning of his vision for a more united, supported, and empowered student community.
The GEUSA Welfare Association is designed to address the pressing needs of Gusii students at Egerton University, including helping those struggling with small fee balances and food shortages.
Beyond financial support, GEUSA aims to bridge the gap between students and political leaders, providing mentorship, guidance, and connections that are essential for students to excel both academically and professionally.
Makana emphasized that he sees the struggles of these students as a reflection of broader issues in Nakuru under the current leadership.
“Where are our leaders when students can’t even afford basic necessities or clear their fees? I am here because I believe in action, not empty promises,” Makana declared, drawing a stark contrast between his proactive stance and the perceived inaction of his opponents.
Makana’s actions have fueled anticipation for his 2027 parliamentary run, with supporters calling for a shift away from what they see as a stagnant leadership that has neglected the needs of Nakuru’s youth.
Known for his strong educational background and hands-on approach to leadership, Makana has repeatedly criticized the current tenure for lack of engagement with the community.
He argued that, Nakuru Town West has been marred by limited development, and youth initiatives have been overlooked or neglected.
“As a former student and alumnus of this great institution, I know what it’s like to struggle, to wonder where the next meal will come from or how to pay the next semester’s fees. I refuse to stand by while our leaders continue to ignore the youth who are the future of this county,” Makana added, met with cheers from the audience.
The Gusii students welcomed Makana’s initiatives, seeing them as a bridge to a brighter future.
Many expressed their excitement over the political connections GEUSA would help establish.
Leaders of the new association stated that Makana’s unwavering support and influence would provide an invaluable network, connecting students with opportunities that were previously inaccessible.
Makana’s bold approach was unmistakable as he hinted at a new era for Nakuru Town West.
“We don’t need leaders who only show up when it’s time for elections. We need leaders who are there for us all the time, leaders who roll up their sleeves and get things done,” he said, positioning himself as a leader who embodies these qualities.
The event also underscored Makana’s rising popularity among the youth, with many pledging their support for his 2027 bid.
The chants of “Makana tosha!” resonated across the hall as students voiced their confidence in his ability to address issues that they say have been ignored for too long.
Makana’s message was clear: his leadership promises not only change but a new standard of commitment to the people.
In the words of one student leader, “Makana has shown us what leadership looks like. It’s time for Nakuru to have a leader who actually listens to us and fights for our needs.”
