Who is John Mwirichia?

John G. M. Mwirichia is a Kenyan politician and businessman. John Mwirichia began involvement in politics in 1992 during the struggle of multiparty democracy in Kenya and was in the forefront of the then Ford party to ensure that Kenya did not remain a one-party state. When multiparty was finally achieved, he went on to be elected Ford-Kenya chairman Nairobi branch and has since held various positions in the party. Mwirichia’s identification with the mwananchi has endeared him to Kenyan hearts. Especially notable is his current struggle for a socialist nation where all Kenyans including those in power such as the president and members of parliament pay their taxes.

He has in the past visibly opposed the award of salary increment by MPs and was quoted by both the Standard newspaper and Kenya Television Network of 26 June 2002 thus: “ the proposed hike by the MPs was tantamount to asking Kenyans to bribe them to represent them in Parliament”

He has argued vehemently that this Country did not need and still does not need ‘Foreign Constitutional Experts’ as equivalents can easily be found within the borders. Lacking though is political goodwill to implement this state of affairs..
