She was lauded for championing youth and women empowerment programs as well as active engagement in national debates. She was closely followed by Hon Jane Kagiri Laikipia Women Rep and Hon Ruth Odinga Kisumu Women Rep who earned praise for their outreach initiatives and county-based development projects.
