INCOMING LAIKIPIA GOVERNOR
About Peter Kuria
Born and brought up in Laikipa, I understand the plight of our people. I am a victim of poor leadership, but also a product of resilience. Having served in education and other public roles, I bring integrity, proven governance, and compassion to address the plight of the poor, vulnerable, and the business community.
Why am I running?
I am seeking office to restore trust in leadership and deliver practical solutions that uplift families, strengthen local businesses, and protect the most vulnerable. My campaign is driven by the belief that every citizen deserves fair opportunity, responsive governance, and a future built on dignity and shared prosperity.
I will use every tool available to unlock jobs, modernize our roads and markets, expand access to water and healthcare, and ensure every family in Laikipia can live with dignity and opportunity.
