The recent political debate on Inooro TV concerning the Ol Kalou parliamentary by-election has brought the constituency’s future into sharp focus.
With the vote set for July 16, 2026, the discussion clearly highlighted why the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) candidate, Samuel Muchina Nyaga, is the best choice to lead the people of Ol Kalou .
During the Inooro TV interview, Muchina Nyaga made a compelling case based on his deep roots in the constituency.
He emphasised his 13-year tenure as the personal assistant to the late MP David Kiaraho, arguing this is not a time for a novice.
He knows every ongoing project and the needs of the people intimately. Muchina framed his campaign around continuity, stating his primary goal is to complete the development projects initiated by the former MP, ensuring the late leader’s legacy is not lost .
The debate further underscored Muchina’s advantage as the candidate of the ruling party.
He is not just a politician; he is a direct link between Ol Kalou and the national government.
High-ranking leaders like Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru have publicly endorsed him, urging voters to elect a candidate who can work closely with the government to deliver roads, water, and electricity.
The recent launch of numerous government projects in the constituency, from the Affordable Housing project to the revival of the railway line, demonstrates the benefits of being in government benefits Muchina is best placed to secure for the people .
In contrast, Muchina positioned his opponents as offering rhetoric without the necessary experience or government connections.
He pointed out that while he has been working on the ground for over a decade, others are new to the political landscape and lack the administrative knowledge required to hit the ground running.
His message was clear, Ol Kalou needs a leader who understands government systems and can effectively lobby for resources.
Muchina’s calm and focused demeanor during the debate, combined with his message of experience and continuity, convinced many that he is the only candidate truly equipped to ensure Ol Kalou continues to progress.
