MPs take the oath of office at the National Assembly on September 8, 2022. After their numerous promises on the election campaign trail, it’s now time for political leaders to deliver the goods to the people, having assumed office several months ago.
Quite disappointing to Ruth Gituma is that some MPs have taken the expansion of representation as one of their priorities in the current tenure of the National Assembly. Says she: “We’re already over-represented from the ward to the county level. The public wage bill has skyrocketed and the most we can do is return the provinces and resist selfish suggestions.”
