As leader of budget team, Ndindi holds the purse strings
By Anthony.Mwangi, June 15, 2023Ndindi Nyoro is the chair of the influential Budget and Appropriation Committee in the National Assembly.
Like Kimani, he is serving his second term as the member for Kiharu in Murangá County.
Born in1985, Nyoro, an economist and an entrepreneur, has positioned himself as among the emerging youthful leaders ready to take over from the elders especially in his Mount Kenya backyard.
The MP has positioned himself as the voice of reason in the hot debate on the Finance bill. He recently said the views given by Kenyans will be incorporated before it is adopted by the National Assembly.
He said as leaders, MPs are elected to represent Kenyans and that they have to consult them as they make such decisions.
“We are not chest thumping because this country belongs to us all. As leaders, we don’t lead ourselves so we have to work with Kenyans and we have been collecting views in our constituencies to understand what Kenyans want,” he said.
But Ndindi emphasised that the Finance Committee will do everything possible to ensure Kenyans’ concerns are considered before the bill is passed.
“We may have aspirations of the things we want to achieve as leaders but we also have to listen to Kenyans and we respect their views because we know they will make the bill even better,” he said.
