President Uhuru Kenyatta has fulfilled a promise he assured to Igembe South Member of Parliament (MP), John Paul Mwirigi, at the Sagana State Lodge in Nyeri.
President Uhuru handed over a brand new vehicle to Mr Mwirigi on Friday, a gift he had promised the young MP when he (Mwirigi) was elected in the August 8 General Election.
An overjoyed Mwirigi thanked the Head of State for the new machine and vowed to serve his constituents better.
