Tim Wanyonyi, cut from a different piece of cloth in Kenyan politics

Tim Wanyonyi, Westlands Member of Parliament.

The word ‘Kenyan politician’, conjures up images of a crude and sweaty hooligan, more at home in a boisterous wrestling hall, than the solemn chambers of Parliament.

This is probably because the loudmouthed yobs with little between their ears are the ‘waheshimiwa’ seen in the media more often than the calm and composed representatives working diligently outside the limelight.
