1.Taveta
Dr.Naomi Namsi Shaban who is also the Minister for Gender and Children is the Member of Parliament for Taveta on a former ruling party KANU which has disintegrated and its former leader Uhuru Kenyatta (son of the late President Kibaki) formed a new party called The National Alliance Party (TNA) while the son of former President Daniel Arap Moi (Gideon Moi) remained with the party.

Dr.Shaaban is considered a hardworking legislator in her constituency and also active in Parliamentary debates.





2.Wundanyi
Mwadeghu of Wundanyi
Wundanyi Constituency is represented in the Kenyan National Assembly by Thomas Luhindi Mwadeghu who was born in 1953 and he is a quiet man who shies away from National politics though involved actively in his constituency. Even in his Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) he only attends party meetings but makes minimal contributions according to party sources who attend meetings but not authorized to speak to media.
