Beth’s political journey began in the first County Assembly, where she made her mark as a counselor in the now-defunct Nyandarua County Council. Her commitment to her constituents was unwavering, and her passion for democracy was evident during the fight for multiparty politics in 1992, a pivotal moment that reshaped Kenya’s political landscape.
