23-year-old MP-elect shops for good ideas

The youthful MP-elect for Igembe South has promised to keep his ear to the ground to ensure that he makes the right decisions that impact on the lives of his people. In an exclusive interview with The Standard in Maua town, John Paul Mwirigi, 23, said his priority will be to improve the life of ordinary mwananchi by ensuring there are better health facilities, roads, education, and infrastructure and building more markets in the banana-rich constituency. But although he knows the direction he would like to steer the constituency, Mwirigi urged residents to ‘freely’ give him ideas on how to transform the area.
