“We cannot sit pretty when our youth are languishing in poverty. Poverty pushes them into crime, drugs, and despair. We must confront this reality head-on. As your MP, I will help enact legislation that opens doors for our young people \u2014 removing barriers that punish them for being poor,” he told residents.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/goodmorningkenya.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/inbound3738264356188568161.jpg\")

His message is simple yet powerful:
The youth deserve a fighting chance.
Champion of the Girl Child
Wakili Mirimo\u2019s activism goes beyond politics; it is deeply personal.
Haunted by rising cases of teenage pregnancies, school dropouts, and the silent shame of girls missing classes for lack of sanitary pads, he has placed the girl child at the center of his community agenda.
\u201cIt is heartbreaking that our girls miss school because they cannot afford sanitary towels. I will champion free sanitary pads so that our girls stay in class and compete on equal footing with boys,\u201d he vowed.
True to his word, he has been on the ground \u2014 donating sanitary towels across various institutions in Dagoretti North, restoring dignity where the system has long looked away.
From Stigma to Strength: Restoring Menstrual Dignity
Team Confirm recently hosted a groundbreaking forum at Kawangware Coast, bringing together mothers, adolescent girls, and community mentors.
The event was not merely about distributing menstrual health supplies \u2014 it was a safe space for healing, confidence building, and empowerment.
Through open dialogues, mentorship, and practical menstrual health support, Mirimo\u2019s movement is rapidly transforming menstrual stigma into a platform for strength and opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Legal Aid for the People<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Away from the rallies and community events, the lawyer in him remains alive.
Wakili Mirimo has conducted numerous free legal aid clinics, offering pro bono services to residents who often cannot afford legal representation. From land disputes to rights awareness, he has become the go-to legal mind for many in Dagoretti North.
Dagoretti North at a Turning Point
With the arrival of the sharp-minded, no-nonsense, people-centred lawyer Mirimo Nyongesa, the political temperature is rising. The constituency seems primed for a major shift \u2014 a change driven not by noise, but by tangible community action and bold, visionary leadership.
If the current momentum is anything to go by, Dagoretti North may just be standing on the brink of a political renaissance.
