In the 10th parliament, Kenya had the most vibrant parliamentarians who braced and debated genuine matters of national interest.
When Kenneth Marende was the speaker during the Grand Coalition government, leaders expressed fearless support for the common wananchi.
The Kenyan economy stabilized due to good governance, leadership structure and proper checks on the government.
Judging by the current state of affairs, Kenyans miss two great politicians in Parliament.
The former Gem Mp Jakoyo Midiwo who showed a true picture of the people's voice to demand equitable distribution of resources for development is one of them.
Midiwo was a no-nonsense legislator when carrying out house business to a point that he led the house in impeaching Kimunya as minister for trade.
Midiwo made himself a Raila Odinga and ODM developer and was touted as the voice of the Luo in parliament.
The other leader whose voice is missing in parliament is Pius Ababu Namwamba. The former Budalangi MP was idolised by Kenyan youth for his abrasiveness and take on the Kibaki government. At some point, with his legal prowess, during the swearing-in ceremony in 2008, he swore by the name of his party leader Raila Odinga.
The ODM general by then and former Public Accounts committee chair gave the country the green light on embezzlement of public funds and was entirely loved by all Kenyans and missed to date.
Namwamba became a darling among university students fraternity to whom many are following his footsteps due to also his prolific public speaking.
