National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi has called on Members of Parliament in the 12th Parliament to be guided with integrity.
Speaking after being elected for the second term, Muturi asked MPs to set aside their political differences and focus on working for the better of the country.
Muturi was re-elected by 220 votes, with his only competitor Migudo Awinja getting one.
“I undertake to discharge my duties with a high degree of efficiency and impartiality and will to the best of my ability respect, uphold and defend the peoples’ constitutional sovereignty assigned to this House,” said Mr Muturi.
“I submit myself to the will of this House and assure you that I will, as usual, strive to be accessible to every member and ensure that we work together for the well-being of our great nation.”
The Speaker is also the chairman of the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC).
