Almost a year after they took office, there is a number, actually a large number of Members of the National Assembly who are yet to rise up and present the needs and demands of their people on the floor of the house.
According to Mzalendo.com, an online platform which keeps a keen observation on the legislator's performance in the house, a total of 49 lawmakers have been implicated in an ongoing silence trend among a section of the parliamentarians.
Among these is Nakuru county's Kuresoi South MP Joseph Tonui who is yet to either table a proposal or contribute in way.
His Subukia counterpart Samuel Gachobe was ranked among the poor debaters who have only took part in not more than 3 house discussions.
This comes at a time when the house leader Speaker Justin Muturi is lamenting of poor performance, noting that a big section of the remaining lawmakers lack commitment and are fond of evading vital lawmaking sittings.
''Many will get up as soon as I step out of the chair and retreat when the committee of the whole House is in session. Yet they will be the loudest out there telling their constituents about a law they never participated in legislating,'' Muturi is quoted by Standard.
Others in the list include vocal leaders Oscar Sudi of Kapseret and Kisumu Central's Fred Ouda.
