Jane Gituku Sets the Standard for County Leadership in Nakuru

By John Kariuki
In an era where genuine leadership often feels like a rarity, Hon. Jane Gituku, the Member of County Assembly (MCA) for Maella Ward in Naivasha Constituency, is proving that public service anchored in dedication and integrity still exists. Crowned as the Best Performing MCA in Nakuru County by an independent and credible poll, Hon. Gituku’s rise reflects both her personal commitment and the transformative impact of servant leadership.
Her recognition did not come by chance. Hon. Gituku has relentlessly championed causes close to her constituents’ hearts — from improving local infrastructure and expanding access to clean water, to empowering women and youth through targeted community programs. Her presence is not limited to boardrooms or podiums; she is on the ground, listening, acting, and ensuring no voice goes unheard.
In a political climate where rhetoric often overshadows results, Gituku has emerged as a model of hands-on, responsive leadership. Her ability to blend humility with decisiveness, and vision with action, has earned her widespread respect — not only within Maella Ward but across Nakuru County. Fellow MCAs now look to her ward as a blueprint for good governance and meaningful community engagement.
One Maella resident captured the sentiment of many:
“Hon. Jane Gituku is more than a representative — she’s our engine of change. She sees our struggles, responds to them, and never stops pushing for our progress.”
The poll also spotlighted other commendable leaders across the county, including Peter Palang’a (Olkaria Ward), Virginia Wachanga (Hell’s Gate), Wathiai Macharia (Shabaab), and Moses Koros (Mauche). But even among these high performers, Gituku’s commitment to inclusive, transformative leadership continues to stand out.
As Nakuru County navigates its development agenda, Gituku’s leadership offers a compelling reminder: true progress is driven by leaders who prioritize people over politics, results over rhetoric, and integrity over influence.
Her journey is not just an inspiration — it’s a call to action for all public servants across Kenya.
