Hon. Swaka, the MCA for Gatina Ward, on Sunday joined congregants at Mukuyu PAG Church for a spirit-filled service marked by worship, reflection, and community engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


The minister of the day, Rev. Sogoni, delivered a heart-warming sermon from the book of Jeremiah 18:1\u20138, drawing lessons from the potter and the clay and reminding believers of God\u2019s power to shape destinies.
Addressing the congregation, Hon. Swaka thanked the faithful for their unwavering support throughout his tenure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n


\u201cI want to thank the speaker of the Word today for such a fulfilling sermon. I am truly blessed, and choosing to attend today\u2019s service is indeed God-sent,\u201d he said.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n


Advancing Education in Gatina<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n


Hon. Swaka outlined key milestones achieved during his time in office, beginning with education a pillar he described as central to his leadership.
He noted that when he assumed office, Gatina Primary School was grappling with congestion and limited infrastructure. Today, the school proudly hosts 1,800 pupils, following the expansion of classrooms that has eased pressure on parents and learners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n


\u201cEducation has been key in all my promises. Issuing bursaries without providing a conducive learning environment is not enough. My cordial working relationship with our MP, Hon. Elachi, has yielded fruits, and I am happy that new classrooms have been set up,\u201d he <\/em><\/strong>added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n


Empowering Youth and Women<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n


Beyond education, Hon. Swaka highlighted empowerment initiatives targeting women and youth groups across the ward.
In a deliberate effort to curb crime and unemployment, he revealed that over 300 young people have been sponsored to acquire driving licences, equipping them with skills to earn a dignified livelihood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n


\u201cCrime and joblessness must be fought. We have managed to sponsor over 300 young people who have acquired driving skills and are now honestly earning a living,\u201d he stated to loud applause.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n


Roads and Infrastructure Upgrade<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n


The congregation erupted in cheers when Hon. Swaka spoke about infrastructure improvements across Gatina Ward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Several roads, including Muthiora Road, Ombutu Road, and various feeder roads, have been upgraded and are now passable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n


\u201cI am happy that we have upgraded several roads in Gatina. This has been possible thanks to my cordial relationship with Governor Sakaja, who remains a dear friend to the people of Gatina,\u201d he said.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • KSh 190,000 Donation to the Church<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n


    In a gesture that deeply moved the congregation, Hon. Swaka donated KSh 190,000 towards the purchase of church instruments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n


    \u201cI am a living testimony and a firm believer in God. God can transform lives and move mountains. As I sat there, the man of God challenged me to help upgrade the church instruments. I have accepted the challenge and have sent KSh 190,000 to the church for the purchase of the instruments,\u201d he announced<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n


    Church members expressed gratitude for the generous contribution and pledged their continued support for the area MCA.
    The service ended on a high note, reflecting a blend of faith, leadership, and tangible development \u2014 hallmarks that continue to define Hon. Swaka\u2019s tenure in Gatina Ward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
