Discover how Linda Mama expanded maternal and child healthcare in Kenya through strategic leadership and financial innovation.

Inception

Launched in 2017, the Linda Mama Initiative was designed to provide free maternal and child healthcare services, tackling the critical issue of high maternal and infant mortality rates in Kenya. Recognizing the profound impact that accessible healthcare can have on families and communities, the initiative sought to fill gaps in existing health services. It was bolstered by robust advocacy efforts aimed at securing essential budget allocations and mobilizing resources to ensure its sustainability and success. Through collaboration with government agencies, non-profit organizations, and healthcare providers, the initiative aimed not only to enhance access to care but also to improve the overall quality of maternal and child health services across the nation.

Growth

As the Linda Mama Initiative evolved, it broadened its scope to encompass comprehensive antenatal and postnatal care services, addressing the full spectrum of maternal health needs. This expansion was not merely a matter of adding services; it represented a holistic approach to healthcare that recognized the importance of continuous support for mothers before, during, and after childbirth. Effective stakeholder engagement and collaboration became crucial in reaching a wider audience, ensuring that services were accessible to all segments of the population, particularly underserved communities. The initiative’s strategic vision also facilitated the development of targeted training programs for healthcare workers, equipping them with the latest knowledge and skills in maternal health practices. By fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement, the initiative not only improved health outcomes but also built a strong foundation for sustainable healthcare practices in Kenya.

Achievements

By 2021, the Linda Mama Initiative had successfully facilitated over a million safe deliveries, a remarkable milestone that underscored its profound impact on maternal and child health in Kenya. This achievement not only reflects the initiative’s commitment to reducing mortality rates but also highlights the effectiveness of its comprehensive approach to healthcare.The success was rooted in meticulous financial planning and strategic resource allocation, ensuring that funds were directed where they were needed most. Furthermore, robust data analysis played a pivotal role in shaping government policy, providing critical insights that drove further advancements in healthcare. This evidence-based approach allowed for continuous improvement in service delivery, enabling the initiative to adapt and respond to emerging health trends and community needs. The impressive outcomes of the Linda Mama Initiative stand as a testament to the power of collaborative efforts and innovative strategies in transforming healthcare access and quality across the nation.

Leadership

In this transformative journey, the then NHIF CEO, CPA Geoffrey Gitau Mwangi’s strategic leadership and exceptional financial acumen played a pivotal role in shaping the Linda Mama and Edu-Afya initiatives. His ability to navigate complex financial landscapes and advocate for sustainable funding was instrumental in securing the resources necessary for these programs to thrive. Mwangi’s visionary approach fostered a culture of innovation and collaboration among stakeholders, ensuring that the initiatives were not only responsive to the immediate needs of the communities but also adaptable to future challenges. Even after his departure from NHIF, his legacy continued to influence the trajectory of these programs.

A sharp contrast in Leadership and Results: strong growth vs decline. Nakuru deserves a leader who builds revenue, not destroys it.

A Proven Record of Leadership and Results

Strong leadership transforms institutions. When a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) stepped in to lead the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF), he delivered real change. Revenue increased from KSh 13 billion to KSh 65 billion within only two years. He achieved this success through tough financial discipline, innovation in systems, and accountability in every process. This is the kind of Leadership and Results that improves services and expands opportunities for the people.

A Disturbing Revenue Collapse in Nakuru County

Unfortunately, Nakuru County has witnessed the opposite trend. In the first year of the current administration, own-source revenue (OSR) fell from KSh 3.26 billion to KSh 1.16 billion. This sharp decline is the worst in Nakuru County’s history. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic—when the entire world struggled—Nakuru managed better revenue performance. The numbers now show a clear leadership failure, not a global economic crisis.

Poor Priorities Are Hurting Nakuru

Furthermore, while other county governments invested in digital revenue systems, supported local business growth, and reduced wasteful spending, Nakuru slipped backward. Inflated contracts, unnecessary legal disputes, and politics without substance took center stage. As a result, service delivery declined, development stalled, and business owners began losing confidence in the county’s future.

Residents Deserve Accountable Governance

Therefore, Nakuru residents must demand leadership that puts economic growth first. The county needs a leader who understands how to build revenue, create job opportunities, and strengthen community services. Nakuru deserves governance that values transparency, professionalism, and measurable outcomes. When leaders do their jobs well, citizens feel the results in hospitals, schools, and markets.

A Future Built on Leadership and Results

The solution is simple: choose performance over personality. Choose a leader who has demonstrated success in managing public resources. Choose a visionary who knows how to deliver real results—not empty public shows. Nakuru County can rise again when a competent manager takes charge and focuses on delivering real impact.https://www.facebook.com/share/1BDrDyMtT3/

Nakuru deserves better.
Nakuru deserves progress.
Nakuru deserves a leader with Leadership and Results that everyone can trust.

It’s time to restore confidence.
It’s time to rebuild our economy.
It’s time for the manager Nakuru has been waiting for.

Auditor General report exposes millions wasted in Nakuru as leaders enjoy luxuries while hospitals and mothers suffer.

Auditor General Exposes the Rot in Nakuru

The latest Auditor General’s report has unmasked the shocking truth about how Nakuru County is being run. In just one financial year, KShs. 366 million of public money was squandered on endless local trips and allowances, while another KShs. 22.5 million was blown away on foreign travel. Instead of channeling these resources to hospitals, schools, and water projects, our leaders chose to fund luxury lifestyles. This is the face of leadership that is out of touch with the realities of the people.

Leaders Living in Luxury, People Left to Suffer

While billions are wasted on per diems, hotel stays, and first-class flights, the people of Nakuru are left to struggle with broken healthcare systems, unfinished roads, and failing basic services. Mothers in rural areas are forced to deliver babies on dusty roads without proper medical care. Some women are detained in hospitals because they cannot pay maternity fees. These are not stories from decades ago—they are the painful daily realities of families in Nakuru today.

Arrogance and Insult to Nakuru Mothers

As if this waste was not enough, the Governor herself openly boasted that she flew to the USA to give birth, claiming that Nakuru nurses were not “good enough” for her. This statement is not just arrogance; it is contempt for the hardworking health workers of Nakuru who serve our people with dedication despite limited resources. It is an insult to the mothers who risk their lives daily in underfunded hospitals, waiting for a government that has abandoned them.

The Naked Truth About Nakuru’s Leadership

The naked truth is this: Nakuru is run by leaders who see themselves as superior, while treating wananchi as expendable. They have turned county government into a private playground where money meant for public development is splashed on personal luxuries. This is why billions worth of projects remain incomplete. This is why youth empowerment programs are stalled. This is why job opportunities are drying up. Leaders are flying high while wananchi are sinking deeper into hardship.

2027: Time to Reclaim Nakuru

Come 2027, Nakuru must make a choice: do we continue funding their luxuries, or do we reclaim our county for the people? CPA Geoffrey Gitau Mwangi has made it clear; the fight is not about power for its own sake, but about returning dignity, accountability, and service to Nakuru. It is about ensuring that every shilling of public money works for the wananchi, not for the privileged few. Together, we can end arrogance, reject corruption, and build a Nakuru where every mother, every youth, every farmer, and every worker is valued. The future is in our hands, and the time to act is now. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1FCyd1Jezp/

Rigathi Gachagua joins Mwangi in Nakuru to rally people for real delivery.

CPA Geoffrey Mwangi Reassures People of Nakuru

CPA Geoffrey Gitau Mwangi has assured the great people of Nakuru that the DCP Party Leader, H.E. Rigathi Gachagua, will visit Nakuru after his successful USA tour. His visit underlines Nakuru’s importance in the national political conversation. This visit in itself is a testament that shows the deep respect and commitment that H.E. Rigathi Gachagua has for Nakuru County and CPA Geoffrey Gitau Mwangi.

Nakuru Cannot Be Intimidated

No amount of threats from the former or current Governor will stop Rigathi from walking in Nakuru. He will meet residents in every street, every constituency, and every corner. Nakuru belongs to its people, and no leader can silence the voices of a united county.

Empty Threats vs Real Delivery

While some leaders issue empty threats, the reality in Nakuru speaks for itself: billions wasted on incomplete projects and a payroll bloated with ghost workers. Instead of fearing who visits Nakuru, leaders should fear the judgment of the people for failing to deliver. These are the real issues that deserve urgent attention. This is the legacy leaders should be worried about, not who visits Nakuru. “Instead of issuing empty threats, leaders must deliver to the people of Nakuru,” Said CPA Geoffrey G. Mwangi.

Mwangi’s Call for a Brighter Nakuru

CPA Geoffrey Gitau Mwangi reminds residents that the true fight is for accountability, service delivery, and dignity for every Nakuru family. Together, we must rise, demand better, and shape the future of a prosperous and empowered Nakuru. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1CWzenegA6/

Linda Mama ensured free maternity care. Geoffrey Mwangi promises its revival in Nakuru through NAKU-Afya. Mothers deserve dignity.

Linda Mama Was a Lifeline for Mothers

Linda Mama, under the NHIF, was not just a healthcare policy; it was a lifeline for thousands of expectant mothers across Kenya. It ensured that women, regardless of their income level, could access free prenatal and post-natal care, safe deliveries, and maternal follow-ups without the burden of hospital bills. As someone who believes deeply in human dignity and family welfare, I watched this program touch lives and save futures.

Nakuru’s Shame: Detaining Mothers After Birth

Today, it breaks my heart, and should shake the conscience of every Nakuru County resident- that women are being detained in our county hospitals after giving birth. Why? Because the Linda Mama program was scrapped, and in its absence, the county leadership failed to offer an alternative. These are not just headlines; they are heartbreaking stories of mothers separated from newborns, humiliated over unpaid bills. Is this the Nakuru we want? Absolutely not.

NAKU-Afya: A New Dawn for Maternal Care in Nakuru

When elected Governor of Nakuru County, I will revive the spirit of Linda Mama under a localized health model called NAKU-Afya; a people-centered county health system that prioritizes mothers, children, and the vulnerable. We will rebuild trust in our health facilities, eliminate out-of-pocket costs for maternal care, and partner with NHIF and trusted institutions to make universal maternal health a reality again in Nakuru.

My Commitment: Healthcare That Restores Dignity

As a Certified Public Accountant and leader who values planning and accountability, I don’t make vague promises. I propose a clear, structured rollout of maternal health subsidies through NAKU-Afya. We will allocate targeted funds to ensure every pregnant woman in Nakuru receives free maternal care, just like under Linda Mama. We will also ensure no mother is ever detained in a county hospital again — never again under my watch.

Nakuru Deserves Better, and It Starts with Our Mothers

When we talk about development, we must start with the people who give life — our mothers. Linda Mama represented compassion, dignity, and public responsibility. With the current situation in Nakuru, it is clear we’ve lost that direction. But under my leadership, we will bring back dignity to maternal care and build a health system that listens, acts, and delivers; just as I have pledged in my broader manifesto. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1CE92Sndy2/

“Linda Mama Was a Lifeline for Mothers“

Nakuru deserves better. CPA Geoffrey Gitau Mwangi shares a faith-driven message of hope and leadership from Molo, Turi-Ward.

Unless the Lord Goes with Us

“Unless You go with us, hatutoki hapa.” These powerful words echo the spirit of Moses in Exodus 33:15 and capture the heart of our journey in Nakuru County. True transformation is not powered by politics alone; it must be led by God. As CPA Geoffrey Gitau Mwangi continues to walk this path of public service, he carries a deep conviction that Nakuru’s restoration must be God-inspired, God-empowered, and people-centered. Without divine direction, every strategy remains shallow, and every promise hollow.

Against Fast Chariots and Deep Pockets

Yes, others may come with fast chariots, sophisticated machinery, flashy campaigns, and bottomless resources. But what CPA Geoffrey Gitau Mwangi brings is far greater: integrity, discipline, vision, and an unwavering commitment to restore the dignity of governance in Nakuru County. Nakuru deserves better, not just in infrastructure, but in truth, justice, and leaders who serve selflessly. The people are not asking for miracles; they are asking for accountability, opportunity, and leadership that listens and delivers.

A Moment of Spiritual Renewal in Molo

It was deeply refreshing to worship alongside fellow believers at Ngwataniro Baptist Church in Turi Ward, Molo. In such gatherings, hope is rekindled, purpose is refined, and community is strengthened. These moments reaffirm why we strive for a Nakuru where faith, unity, and development coexist. CPA Mwangi believes that authentic leadership flows from a heart aligned with God and rooted in the values that make a society flourish.

Nakuru Deserves Better, and It Begins with Us

The journey to restore Nakuru County is not a solo act,it requires collective prayer, participation, and persistence. Let us rally behind a vision anchored in truth and service. Nakuru deserves better, and with faith and unity, that better future is within reach.https://www.facebook.com/share/p/154nYkcP1Z/

Nakuru County: Hope does not disappoint. A Sunday reflection on justice, faith, and leadership with CPA Geoffrey Gitau Mwangi.

A Timely Warning from Scripture

“Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees.” — Isaiah 10:1
The ancient words of the prophet Isaiah ring as true today as they did centuries ago. In Nakuru County and across our nation, the challenge of unjust governance and systems that oppress the common mwananchi is ever-present. These words are not just historical lamentations; they are God’s enduring voice against corruption, injustice, and the abuse of power. As CPA Geoffrey Gitau Mwangi continues to advocate for transparency and equitable development across the county, let this be a call to all leaders to walk in truth and integrity.

God Sees, God Hears

In times when the cries of the people seem ignored and oppressive policies go unchecked, it can feel as though justice is delayed indefinitely. But be reminded, God sees every injustice, and He hears the voices of those wronged. Just as He has intervened in the past, He will act again in due time. Nakuru residents, your patience is not in vain. The faithful stewardship and advocacy by leaders like Geoffrey Gitau Mwangi are not just political moves; they are acts of service aligned with divine justice.

Hope Does Not Disappoint

In Nakuru County, where socioeconomic disparities often shadow progress, hope remains our greatest strength. CPA Geoffrey Gitau Mwangi exemplifies this hope through his commitment to transparent leadership and community upliftment. Let us hold tightly to the promise that better days are not only coming, they are being built now, step by step. Hope does not disappoint because it is anchored in a God who never fails.
