Mwakwere sworn in as MP

Chirau Ali Mwakwere was on Tuesday sworn in as Matuga Member of Parliament.

Mwakwere is the only member of the 10th parliament to successfully recapture his seat following a court petition.

He was escorted to take his oath of allegiance by Internal Security Minister George Saitoti and Kangundo MP Johnstone Muthama.

Mwakwere was escorted to parliament by over 400 supporters from his Matuga constituency.

The former Transport minister recaptured his seat after trouncing Hassan Mwanyoha of ODM by over 5000 votes.

Among those who failed to make it back to parliament after being thrown out of parliament by the courts include Richard Onyancha of Bomachoge and Omingo Magara of South Mugirango.
