Westlands MP Hon. Tim Wanyonyi has demonstrated his unwavering commitment to protecting public land and standing up for his constituents. In a move that has earned him praise across Nairobi, the MP joined Loresho and Kitisuru residents in a protest against the illegal grabbing of 3 acres of land from the Loresho Police Post—a move that left several police families homeless and stranded.

At the forefront of the protest was Hon. Tim Wanyonyi, who condemned the brazen land grab and vowing to d...

Azimio leader Raila Odinga receives National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula's younger brother Fred Wetang’ula to the Orange Democratic Movement on January 17, 2023.
