Hon. Okute continues to stand out as a genuine champion for better healthcare in Karachuonyo, driven not by political ambition but by a deep love for his people. His commitment to the health sector can be traced back to 2016, when he personally donated 16 hospital beds to various dispensaries across the constituency. This was a gesture funded from his own pocket, reflecting his understanding that dignified medical care begins with proper facilities. Many local health centres had been struggling with inadequate equipment, and his support eased the pressure on both patients and medical staff, leaving a lasting impact on community healthcare delivery.
As he prepares for the 2027 parliamentary contest, Hon. Okute has placed health at the heart of his manifesto, assuring constituents that he will work hand in hand with the Homa Bay County Government to strengthen health systems across Karachuonyo.
He believes that a healthy population is the foundation of a thriving constituency; when families are well, farmers can work their fields with energy, productivity increases, and economic stability follows. His vision reflects a holistic understanding of development one that connects healthcare to food security, poverty reduction and overall community wellbeing.

His commitment to health goes beyond policy promises and public statements. Over the recent weekend, Hon. Okute engaged residents of Kibiri, Central Ward, Kanyaluo, and parts of North Ward in meaningful discussions about the importance of registering under the Social Health Authority (SHA).
By encouraging citizens to enrol, he is ensuring that families are protected from the financial strain that often accompanies medical emergencies and chronic illnesses. These engagements highlight his belief that an informed and insured community is a stronger and more resilient one.
Through his continued outreach, personal sacrifices, and forward-looking vision, Hon. Okute has earned the reputation of a leader who does not wait for office to start serving. His efforts reflect a genuine desire to see Karachuonyo become a healthier and more productive constituency, where access to quality healthcare is not a privilege but a right enjoyed by all. As residents look toward the future, many see in him a dependable advocate for their wellbeing and a committed voice for a stronger, healthier Karachuonyo.
