On the 9th August 2022, Embakasi West constituents went to the polling stations and made their voice loud and clear, they were tired of George Theuri.
The two –term legislator was however not ousted by a landslide owing to his easy going nature and help t the community through bursary and NG-CDF.
He has used the two to help many constituents and as such deserves credit.
With the High Court decision to declare NG-CDF unconstitutional, it was easy to concede.
Tough task lies ahead for Mark Mwenje.
However, he must complete the rehabilitation works left behind by George Theuri.
Schools must be renovated, new classrooms added.
But that is not the whole plan.
Mark Mwenje must lobby the government, county government, roads body, ministry of transport and relevant bodies to tarmac, pave and raise the stature of Embakasi West.
We need good roads and drainage.
We need better street lighting
We need security
We need better solid and liquid waste management
We need better housing among others.

To all my supporters plz let’s support Hon Mark Mureithi as he takes over the office and accord him the necessary respect the office deserves. Politics is not enmity but competition on better ideas and service to our people,” Theuri stated.
On his side, Mark Mwenje thanked the UDA politician for conceding defeat honourably. He pledged to deliver on his campaign promises after his official ascendancy to power.
“I wish to publicly thank Hon. George Theuri for taking the time to call me this morning to wish me well and also for his public statement below to congratulate me as I take on the esteemed leadership of Embakasi West Constituency,” he said.
