Kagure highlighted the critical role of leadership in ensuring the well-being of the public, advocating for clear-thinking leadership that prioritizes actionable solutions.
“Our people and children shouldn’t suffer from environmental hazards when solutions exist. A clear-thinking leadership should prioritize sustainable waste management, proper waste segregation, and economic empowerment for the people living around Dandora,” Agnes Kagure wrote on X.

She pointed out that this is a crucial step in curbing the environmental challenges that are causing harm to the residents of Dandora and other similar areas.
By implementing a system that encourages the separation of waste at the source, the community can help reduce pollution, enhance recycling, and create a cleaner environment for future generations.
In addition to waste management, Kagure stressed the importance of economic empowerment for the people living around Dandora.
She believes that by providing the community with opportunities for economic growth and self-sufficiency, the residents can improve their quality of life and contribute to a more sustainable and resilient local economy.

Kagure’s focus on economic empowerment is aligned with her broader vision of creating lasting change in marginalized communities through both environmental and socio-economic interventions.
Through these actions, Agnes Kagure advocates for a holistic approach that not only addresses immediate environmental concerns but also lays the foundation for long-term community development and resilience.
Her call for responsible leadership and sustainable practices serves as a reminder of the importance of considering both the environment and the welfare of people in urban planning and development.
That notwithstanding, Agnes Kagure has been making waves in the Nairobi political arena with may if not all predicting that she will be the alternative solution to the Nairobians’ problems.
