While many Members of Parliament (MPs) were engrossed in discussions about Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s impeachment motion, Mumias East MP Peter Salasya and Sabina Chege took a different approach, focusing on community engagement and service.
Instead of getting caught up in the political fray, they participated in a local community event, showcasing their commitment to their constituents.
During this time, Salasya was spotted at a local function where he interacted with residents, listening to their concerns and discussing various development issues.
His approach reflects a grassroots connection, as he emphasizes the importance of addressing the needs of the people he represents.
He reiterated that his constituents are his priority, stating that he would not support the impeachment motion due to its potential negative impact on their interests.
Meanwhile, Sabina Chege, known for her advocacy on women’s issues, also focused on community development.
She organized an event aimed at empowering women in her constituency, demonstrating her dedication to uplifting the role of women in society.
Chege’s initiative highlighted the importance of addressing social issues alongside political ones, reinforcing her reputation as a leader who prioritizes practical solutions over political drama.
Both MPs serve as examples of how public servants can balance political responsibilities with community engagement, reminding their colleagues that the needs of the people often take precedence over partisan politics.
This approach not only strengthens their connection with voters but also sets a positive example for other leaders in Kenya, especially during turbulent political times.
Their actions contrast sharply with the often heated debates in Parliament, showcasing the value of listening to and engaging with constituents directly.
