George Nyanja, the former MP for Limuru, has quit active politics to focus on personal matters.

"Today if you tell me to be the senator, I will say no. That offer would be coming a bit too late; I now want to concentrate on my business," said Mr Nyanja.

Nyanja served as MP from the first multi-party elections of 1992 until 2002, when he lost to the late Kuria Kanyingi.

"I will be advising those contesting various seats in the next General Election and also talking to the electorate so they are not taken for a ride," said Nyanja who vied for and lost the senatorial race last year.
