📖 My Journey
From Daggo to Global Impact
My journey has only deepened my belief that politics should be about service.
Before 2010
Growing up in Daggo
I grew up in Ng’ando, Waithaka & Riruta. I’ve walked the rough roads, seen families stretch every shilling, and suffered the open sewers. I know firsthand the cost of failed leadership.
2011+
Learning Beyond Daggo
High school and university took me beyond Dagoretti South, exposing me to new ideas and opportunities. But the more I saw the world, the clearer it became; the potential of Daggo is no less than anywhere else.
2020
Solving Problems with Tech
During COVID, I saw how technology could ease everyday struggles especially for small businesses. I built Hudumashop, a marketplace for such businesses. It showed me that real progress happens when innovation is made accessible to the people who need it most.
2022
Giving Back to Community
Without an ID, you can’t vote, access education, healthcare, or even basic services. That’s why I started an ID recovery initiative (RELOID) to help our youth reclaim their voice and their future. What began with IDs has since expanded to recovering all critical documents.
June 2024
A Friend Lost, A Purpose Found
During the 2024 demonstrations, a close friend was abducted and later found dead. More than 60 youths were killed. These deaths were a wake-up call that our generation's voices were being silenced by a system that fears change.
"I will not beg for change anymore. I will not beg for justice. I will step into the arena and demand for it from within." - Samuel Kagwe
Late 2024
Youth Digital Skills Initiative
I saw that many youths lacked access to the digital skills needed in today’s economy. That’s why I helped create a Youth Digital Skills Initiative, opening doors to training and opportunities that prepare them for jobs, business, and a future where they can thrive.
2025
The Decision
After attempting to push for change from the outside, and after losing someone who believed deeply in a better future, I came to a hard truth: lasting change must also be fought from within the system. That is why I chose to run for MP. Not to join politics for its sake, but to remain a problem-solver with a bigger platform, and to protect and amplify the voices that truly matter.
