Wangu wa Makeri

Meaning:

Wangu wa Makeri must have been a remarkable and influential woman to be appointed as the "chief's wife" of Weithaga Location during the colonial period. Her role as the first and only female chief is a testament to her leadership, recognition of her skills and contribution to the community. It is inspiring to see women breaking barriers and making significant progress in traditionally male-dominated roles during this time.
