Kenyan Parliament Under Fire for 'Riggy G' Focus NAIROBI, Kenya — A Kenyan Member of Parliament, Mp Mukunji, has voiced strong criticism of the National Assembly's handling of its agenda. Mukunji claims the assembly spent a significant portion of their first day back from recess, roughly an hour and a half, debating statements made by Riggy G. He argues this time could have been better spent on more pressing issues facing the nation. "The whole afternoon on their first day after recess...they were discussing Riggy G," Mukunji stated in a video posted online. He expressed frustration, saying, "Kenyans deserve better debates. Kenyans deserve substance in what they pay as taxpayers." Mukunji's comments reflect a growing sentiment among Kenyans concerned about the perceived lack of focus on critical issues within the parliament. His video has gained significant traction online, sparking a debate about the assembly's priorities. The incident underscores the need for greater transparency and accountability within the Kenyan legislative system.
