Nominated Senator Isaac Mwaura has ranked himself among the top performing leaders in the nation.
Mwaura was in the National Assembly courtesy of the opposition’s Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) in the last parliament, under the mandate to represent the interests of persons living with disabilities.
Speaking on Radio Maisha’s ‘Bunge La Maisha’ on Monday morning, he attributed his second nomination by the Jubilee Party to his spotless job.
He claimed that he did not have to lobby for his second nomination as President Uhuru Kenyatta personally picked him after losing in his Ruiru parliamentary bid in the 2017 general election.
‘’Mimi napiga kazi ambayo kila mtu anaona na ndio maana nimeteuliwa kwa mara ya pili (I am known for my good job hence the second nomination),’’ he said.
‘’Uhuru mwenyewe ndiye aliyenichukua alipokuja Ruiru na akasema tuungane tufanye kazi (Uhuru personally picked me),’’ he added.
Weighing-in on the Gender Bill seeking to increase the number of female representatives in the house to beat the two-thirds constitutional demand, he expressed his full support.
Mwaura discouraged any opposition of the Garissa Township lawmaker Aden Duale-sponsored bill, noting that the nation indeed needs equality in the house.
‘’Watu wasije wakafikiri eti tunawapa viti vya bure, wao pia wako na kazi ya kufanya (it is not about giving them free slots, they too have something to do on behalf of the nation),’’ he added.
The bill is set to be tabled for second consideration this week.
