“As I have promised here today, that we are going to start a sacco with them so that the problems that they have fronted to me can be sorted even before I get to the office.” She added.
She also pledged to address the challenges of security, education, empowerment, and harassment from county officers, otherwise known as Kanjos, among other problems facing Nairobi locals.
“Others are street families, I had come to listen to their problems, and I am offering myself as the governor aspirant for Nairobi, to look at the problems that they have brought up. They have talked about security, education, empowerment, and harassment from city Askaris (otherwise known as Kanjos) and I have listened when they complained about the licenses. I promised that I will be able to deliver the pledges beyond their expectations” she assured.

Women courted Kagure’s candidature and pleaded with the head of state president Uhuru Kenyatta and Azimio – One Kenya presidential candidate Raila Odinga to re-consider backing Kagure for Nairobi top seat.
“As Nairobi women especially the single mothers, there are myriad challenges we have been going through and that is why we are here to stand with our fellow woman, Agnes Kagure, and we believe she will be able to impart solutions to our challenges” said Kagure’s supporter.
“We urge the Azimio – One Kenya principals (Uhuru and Raila) to reconsider embracing a woman candidate for the county seat. We have tried Kidero and Sonko but all of them failed us. We want a woman this time round” added another woman.
