Kiambu women rep Annah Nyokabi has criticised Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria over his Punguza Mzigo Campaign.
Gathecha says that Kuria owes women in the country an apology for calling them a burden to the state.
Kuria who has been leading a campaign that seeks to have the positions of Women representatives and senatorial seats scrapped off has also petitioned for reduction of members of parliament and Members of county assemblies.
In a statement she posted on Facebook, the irked woman representative said ‘Women MPs are not a burden to Kenyans and women have benefited immensely from their contribution both inside and outside Parliament. It is wrong to term them a burden,’ the post read.
She said that she had set an example of true and effective women leadership by protecting the interests of Kiambu people in parliament.
Gathecha noted that women are powerful tools that fast-track development activities as well as steering fruition of already set development plans.
The woman representative told Kuria that the constitution states the women positions can only be scrapped off after 2015.
Kuria in had earlier said that scrapping off of nominated positions will save Kenyans a lot of money which he said could be enough for construction of another Thika superhighway-like road, provision of laptops to children in school citing that some of the members of parliament are too strange to him and he does not comprehend their responsibilities if not wasting public funds.
