Tony Marubu, a boda boda operator, has been nominated as a Member of Murang'a County Assembly (MCA) by the UDA party.
Kiharu Member of Parliament Ndindi Nyoro on his Facebook page confirmed the nomination.
"Of all the things we have done as UDA fraternity, the nomination of Tony Marubu as an MCA in Murang'a is among the greatest. He is a Boda Boda rider in Kiharu, specifically at Mukuyu (Mugoiri Junction), Kiria and Ndutumi stages. He comes from Ndutumi, Mugoiri Ward in Kiharu," Nyoro said.
He added that he came across him in 2020 during his visits in Murang’a County.
Nyoro said that Marubu captured his attention because he was sharp and articulate.
"He told me he had scored C+ but was unable to proceed to College. We were willing to sponsor him for a Teaching Course but in the course of making it happen, he is now an MCA," he said.
Nyoro said that he is an inspiration to young people in the boda boda sector.
