County Assembly Members have commended nomination of Speaker Kariuki Mate for appointment to the East Africa Legislative Assembly (EALA).

Led by Runyenjes Central MCA Steve Simba, the MCAs said the proposal was a landmark achievement and urged Parliament to ensure the Speaker clinches the post to create space for more similar minds to hone their legislative skills at the Assembly.

Mate has expressed gratitude to Jubilee Party leadership for deeming him fit for such an appointment. He is among other 14 nominees.

 In a statement sent through the County Assembly communications docket, the Speaker stated that according to EALA Elections Act of 2011, Parliament of each partner state should elect nine nominees to the Regional Assembly. He urged residents for moral support.
