Nairobi’s Juakali workers have come out in large numbers to thank businesswoman and city tycoon Agnes Kagure for her continued support and empowerment. In several heartfelt videos shared on her Facebook page, the workers expressed their gratitude for the help and encouragement they have received from her over time.
Kagure, who is known for her strong support for small and informal businesses, responded with warmth and humility.
“Watu wa Juakali, I’m so touched by your messages. Knowing that the empowerment we’ve worked toward is making a difference fuels my passion even more,” she wrote. “Every time you thrive, your families thrive, and so does our city and country.”
Her words have touched many across Nairobi, especially those in the informal sector who often feel forgotten. Kagure has consistently shown support for grassroots communities and has pushed for programs that uplift hardworking Kenyans.
