WAJIR, Kenya — Wajir County Woman Representative Fatuma Abdi Jehow on Sunday began a development tour of Wajir North Constituency, meeting community leaders and residents in an outreach that comes as political activity intensifies ahead of 2027 General Election.
Jehow held discussions with elders, religious leaders, teachers, security officials, youth representatives and other community stakeholders on local development priorities.
The visit was presented as part of her ongoing constituency-wide development engagements under the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF), a government programme administered through the Office of the County Woman Representative to support community development initiatives.
“I was delighted to meet with elders, religious leaders, teachers, security officials, youth, influential members of the community and other stakeholders as part of my ongoing development tour of Wajir North,” Jehow said in the Facebook statement.
She described Wajir North as playing an important role in her political career and pledged to continue supporting development projects in the constituency.
“Wajir North holds a special place in my life and political journey. It is a community that has stood with me over the years, and I remain committed to ensuring that it continues to benefit from meaningful and inclusive development,” she said.
The lawmaker also thanked residents for what she described as constructive discussions on the area’s development needs.
“I sincerely thank the people of Wajir North for their warm hospitality, the open and constructive discussions, and the valuable ideas they shared on the development priorities of our constituency,” Jehow said. “Their insights and partnership are essential as we work together to improve the lives of our people.”
Jehow said her office would continue implementing programmes through NGAAF to ensure development reaches communities across Wajir County.
“Through the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF), under the Office of the County Woman Representative, we remain committed to ensuring that development reaches every corner of Wajir County and benefits every resident,” she said
The tour comes as political leaders across the county have increasingly stepped-up public engagements more than a year before the scheduled 2027 General Election.
