According to Muturi, a number of lwamakers were potraying him in a bad light by making people happy over introducing bills in parliament.

“I was speaking to one young MP on Friday and I was not in a very good mood. I told her they should stop exciting people out there. It puts me under pressure because I start receiving calls that I am sitting on Bills that have not even been introduced,” said Muturi. 

This is after a report revelaed that only seven Members of Parliament are active in the house.

“You will even hear others telling their constituents they have passed very good Bills yet the individuals making such statements do not attend sessions to contribute to the legislation they are talking about.”

 The House leadership also blamed the failure of about 70 per cent of the MPs to speak on the floor of the House on lack of capacity given that some were still learning the processes. 

 “Others go ahead to take credit for work done by other legislators despite the fact that they never contribute during debate on Bills,” said Muturi.
