Members of County Assembly (2013-2017) »
Members of the County Assembly of Murang'a (2013-2017)
Murang’a County was established after the general election of March 4, 2013. The members were sworn into office on March 22, 2013. The members also held an election for speaker of the county assembly on the same day, as a result of which the Honourable Hon. Leonard Nduati Kariuki was elected. The official opening by the governor of the county was done on April 18, 2013.
Regrettably in the year 2016, the County Assembly mourned the passing on of Hon. Peter Kariuki Njogu, a nominated Member representing persons living with disability. The Assembly remembers him for great demonstration of humility, diligence and commitment in his duties as a family man, a leader and as an advocate of persons living with disabilities. He was never timid in advocating for the rights of the physically challenged and was a great debater in the County Assembly. He was always in touch with issues of governance, legislation and representation. May his soul rest in peace.
