Flamingo Ward MCA David Muraya Muna is among the MCAs who have endorsed the Nakuru County Access to Information Bill 2025.
The Bill is being sponsored by Nakuru County Deputy Speaker who is also MCA for Nakuru East Ward Anthony Kamau Kanyere alias Geru.
Speaking during Public Participation Forum for the Bill, MCA Muraya reiterated his commitment towards open governance.
According to Muraya, supporting such a bill is a constitutional obligation and a strategic legislative move allowing MCAs to exercise better executive oversight, access timely data on county expenditures and projects, and engage in informed, evidence-based law-making.
He noted that this transparency framework will directly impact constituents by empowering them to scrutinize public funds, hold leaders accountable, and demand better service delivery in key sectors such as infrastructure, health, and sanitation.
The first term serving MCA was categorical that increased civic access to county information would uplift marginalized groups, including youth, women, and persons with disabilities, ensuring inclusive governance.
Politically, he argued that MCAs who champion transparency laws are more likely to earn public trust and gain credibility as reformers,an asset in the shifting political climate leading into the next election cycle.
He called for timely publication of information, clear communication frameworks, and practical penalties for non-compliance to safeguard the bill’s implementation.
