Garissa Township MP who doubles up as the Majority Leader in the National Assembly ranks as one of the most influential politicians in the country.
The Jubilee Party decision in bestowing him the onus of driving the ruling party agenda in the national assembly appears to have been a prudent one.
The MP, however, served also in other influential positions before venturing into politics.
These are the positions he served before joining politics.
The MP became the Founder and Coordinator of Livestock Traders & Marketing Society of Kenya in 1997.
He served as the Director of Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) between 1999- 2003.
He also served at the Garissa Provincial Commissioners office between 1993- 1994.
