Nakuru’s Lake View Ward MCA Peter Karanja Mburu has finally revealed his interests for Nakuru Senatorial seat come 2022.
There has been speculation in Nakuru County Social Media Pages that the youthful MCA was eyeing a top seat in 2022.
However it was not clear which seat he was going for with some quotas arguing that he would be going for the Naivasha Parliamentary seat while others had it that the MCA was eyeing the Senatorial seat.
But addressing media during the Inua Mama meeting Nakuru edition on Friday that was attended by several Legislators among them the current Nakuru Senator Susan Kihika, the first time vocal Member of the Nakuru County assembly stated categorically that he will be going for the Senatorial seat to serve the people of Nakuru better.
“Si mumeskia Senator wetu anataka kiti ya Ugavana?anatosha ama hatoshi…na sasa Wamama tukiinua mama si tuinue kijana pia….Natosha ama sitoshi? (You have heard our Senator is going for the gubernatorial seat in Nakuru and as we empower a womena let us do so for the youth..Am I capable or not?” stated Mburu amidst applause from the crowd.
The Vocal MCA has positioned himself in the branded Team Tangatanga and is always seen to drunm support for Nakuru Senator Susan Kihika’s political ambition as well as that of the Deputy President William Ruto.
The Nakuru Senatorial seat is currently being held by Senator Susan Kihika who has also declared interest in Nakuru Gubernatorial seat come 2022.
It will be recalled that Mburu in the 2017 general election trounced Mr Simon Wanyoike Wanango.The first time MCA is currently rated as the most vocal ward representative in the current Nakuru County Assembly. The many bills and motions he has sponsored have seen him earn respect of Nakuru residents.
The youthful MCA is also development conscious and at many a times he has been seen as a great critic of Nakuru Governor Lee Kinyanjui when it comes to matters of the citizens and development.
Among Bills he has sponsored include one aimed at establishing a disaster management fund.He is also the brain behind the opening up of the Lake Naivasha corridors after he sponsored a motion on the same.
He has also sponsored a Bill that saw the digitization of building plans in Nakuru County.
The recent motion he sponsored on NHIF will see the less privileged in Nakuru County enjoy free National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) medical cover.
