Nairobi’s Top 10 Performing MCAs Revealed in Latest Kenya Track Survey

By John Toris 

A new survey has ranked Nairobi’s top performing Members of the County Assembly, highlighting leaders who residents say are making a visible difference at the grassroots level.
The Kenya Track Survey, released on February 25, 2026, followed a month-long assessment of service delivery across Nairobi wards and identified MCAs whose development efforts and community engagement stood out.
The study was conducted between January 20 and February 24, 2026, and involved interviews with 5,456 Nairobi residents drawn from different wards across the city. The evaluation focused on tangible development indicators including road improvement, drainage systems, education bursaries, security initiatives, and overall accessibility of ward leadership.

According to the findings, Korogocho Ward MCA Hon. Absalom Odhiambo emerged as the top-performing representative with an approval rating of 80 percent. Residents credited his leadership with improving drainage infrastructure and opening access roads in informal settlement areas, projects that have significantly eased movement and reduced flooding.

Hon. Mwangi Waithira of Githurai 44 Ward ranked second with 78 percent, earning recognition for enhancing security through street lighting and expanding market spaces that have strengthened the area’s commercial activity.

Mihango Ward MCA Hon. Paul Kados placed third with a rating of 77 percent, largely due to road grading programs and water projects that have supported the rapidly growing residential areas.

Nairobi Central MCA Mwaniki Kwenya ranked fourth with 75 percent, with respondents pointing to improved cleanliness, enhanced security, and support for round-the-clock business activity within the central business district.

Clement Kamaru of Kahawa West Ward ranked fifth with 73 percent, recognized for rehabilitating estate roads and supporting youth through sports initiatives.

Waithera Chege of South B Ward ranked sixth with 71 percent, praised for estate modernization initiatives and programs aimed at empowering women and small-scale traders.

Makongeni Ward MCA Peter Imwatok ranked seventh with 70 percent, with respondents noting his strong legislative presence and consistent visibility in ward development initiatives.

Anthony Kiragu of Waithaka Ward ranked eighth with 68 percent, credited for environmental conservation efforts and improvements in drainage systems that have helped reduce flooding.

Martin Wairobi of Mowlem Ward ranked ninth with 67 percent, recognized for flood mitigation projects and initiatives supporting youth talent development.
Kilimani Ward MCA Moses Ogeto ranked tenth with 65 percent, earning recognition for strengthening urban planning oversight and promoting investor confidence within the ward.

Kenya Track Survey reported a confidence level of 95 percent with a margin of error of plus or minus three percent. The respondents consisted of 53 percent female and 47 percent male participants, with the majority drawn from urban neighbourhoods.
The findings reflect growing public demand for accountable and performance-driven leadership at the county level as Nairobi continues to expand and urban service needs increase.
Residents are encouraged to engage their ward representatives and demand consistent delivery of development projects and essential services.
