•Youth and Elders Hailed Guyo’s Transformative Leadership and Rejected Divisive Politics
In Isiolo County, the communities of Burat and Ngaremara have rallied with unwavering resolve behind Governor Abdi Ibrahim Hassan Guyo, celebrating his transformative leadership since taking office in 2022.
From cutting-edge infrastructure to historic inclusion in governance, residents are witnessing a new era of progress that has ignited hope and unity across these vibrant wards.
At a spirited community gathering in Ngaremara, local leaders and residents voiced their gratitude, loyalty, and determination to stand by a governor who has turned promises into tangible results, while firmly rejecting detractors and divisive politics.
A Unified Voice of Gratitude
The atmosphere at the Ngaremara Ward community meeting was electric, as residents from Burat and Ngaremara spoke in one voice to affirm their trust in Governor Guyo.
Burat Ward Administrator Joseph Eskuku captivated the crowd with a passionate recounting of the governor’s achievements. “From new roads slicing through Burat to fresh boreholes ending our water struggles, this is progress you can touch,” he declared, his words met with thunderous applause.
These developments, long yearned for in the arid region, have revolutionized daily life, easing transportation, boosting trade, and providing reliable access to clean water.
Eskuku went further, spotlighting a historic milestone under Guyo’s leadership: the unprecedented inclusion of the Turkana community in county and national government appointments.
“Never before has any governor done this for us,” he asserted, emphasizing that this inclusion, coupled with new dispensaries, boreholes, and roads, reflects a commitment to equitable development.
This groundbreaking representation has empowered the Turkana community, fostering a sense of belonging and pride in Isiolo’s governance.
Ngaremara’s Leap Forward
Ngaremara Ward Administrator Emmanuel Lolia echoed Eskuku’s sentiments, painting a vivid picture of progress in his ward. Upgraded roads have transformed connectivity, enabling easier access to markets and essential services.
Modern health centers have brought quality medical care within reach, while newly constructed Early Childhood Development and Education (ECDE) classrooms are laying a strong foundation for the region’s youngest learners. “These are not just promises; these are realities we live every day,” Lolia stated, dismissing critics as “speaking only for themselves, not for the community.”
Lolia’s remarks underscored the governor’s ability to deliver on his vision, addressing long-standing needs and fostering hope for a brighter future.
The tangible improvements in Ngaremara have silenced doubters, with residents pointing to these projects as proof of Guyo’s dedication to uplifting marginalized communities.
Rejecting Division, Embracing Unity
The community meeting also served as a platform to address and dismiss divisive politics. Eskuku took a bold swipe at the Burat and Ngaremara Members of the County Assembly (MCAs), accusing them of pushing an agenda bankrolled by external forces.
“They fight for their own gain, not for the people,” he charged, vowing that the development gains under Governor Guyo would not be hijacked by selfish interests.
The residents of Burat and Ngaremara echoed this sentiment, explicitly distancing themselves from Hon. Losu and Hon. Lorot, whose “rebellion politics” they rejected as contrary to their collective aspirations.
“We are focused on unity, tangible development, and lasting progress,” Eskuku affirmed, emphasizing that the communities stand united in their support for the governor’s inclusive and results-driven leadership.
This rejection of division has further strengthened the bonds between the Turkana and Sakuye communities, who see Guyo’s administration as a unifying force in a region known for its ethnic diversity.
A Defiant Endorsement from Elders
Ekwam, the Vice Chair of the Turkana Council of Elders delivered the meeting’s most emphatic endorsement, addressing Governor Guyo directly with a powerful message of solidarity.
“Ignore the threats of two individuals in Burat. We stand firmly with you day or night to see the development you have begun completed,” he declared, lauding the governor for turning campaign promises into action.
This bold call to action resonated deeply with the crowd, who see Guyo as a leader who listens and delivers, undeterred by opposition.
The elder’s words underscored the community’s determination to protect the progress they’ve witnessed.
From boreholes alleviating water scarcity to dispensaries improving healthcare access, these projects have not only enhanced living conditions but also fostered a sense of collective pride and optimism for the future.
A Legacy of Transformative Leadership
Since assuming office in 2022, Governor Abdi Guyo has prioritized development projects that address the most pressing needs of Isiolo’s diverse communities.
In Burat and Ngaremara, the impact is undeniable: new roads have spurred economic activity, boreholes have ended water struggles, and modern health and education facilities are empowering residents.
These achievements stand in stark contrast to the challenges of the past, where remote wards often felt neglected by county leadership.
Moreover, Guyo’s commitment to inclusive governance has set a new standard for leadership in Isiolo. By appointing members of the Turkana community to key positions, he has broken barriers and fostered a sense of ownership among marginalized groups.
This inclusive approach, combined with tangible infrastructure gains, has solidified his reputation as a leader who delivers results rather than rhetoric.
A Call for Continued Momentum
As Burat and Ngaremara celebrate their gains, community leaders are calling for sustained momentum.
Eskuku and Lolia urged residents to remain united in supporting Governor Guyo’s development agenda, emphasizing that collective backing is essential to overcoming challenges and sustaining progress.
“This is just the beginning,” Eskuku noted. “With the governor’s leadership and our unity, Burat and Ngaremara will continue to thrive.”
The residents’ message is clear: Governor Abdi Guyo is a leader who listens, acts, and delivers. His ability to transform campaign pledges into life-changing projects has earned him the loyalty of communities who see him as a champion of their aspirations.
As Isiolo County looks to the future, Burat and Ngaremara stand ready to support their governor, confident that his vision will continue to bring prosperity and opportunity to their doorstep.
