Female politicians graced the first birthday party of Samburu West MP Naisula Lesuuda‘s daughter over the weekend, stunning in casual wear far from the rigid parliament dress code.

The birthday which happened at the Samburu West MP’s home brought together politicians from both divides of the Kenya Kwanza and Azimio la Umoja coalition parties.

“To my dear colleagues who have become sisters, thank you all for being such an integral part of our lives. Our journey together has been unique, and I am grateful to God for each of you. I am excited about our continued growth and success in political careers,” the second-term MP stated.

Naisula was a TV anchor at a local broadcaster before she was nominated to the Senate by former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s TNA party in 2013 to become one of the youngest legislators at the time.

She would, however, carve a path of her own in 2017 when she threw herself into the male-dominated race of Samburu West MP seat and won.

Naisula’s popular Bill

In 2022, Naisula beat four male competitors for the Samburu West MP seat after garnering 15, 855 votes against the second-placed candidate who secured 7,004 votes.

Over the years, she has served in more than four parliamentary committees including agriculture, broadcasting and library services, devolved governments and the committee on regional integration.

She is credited for sponsoring the Public Service Internship Bill 2022, which seeks to put into law the compensation of interns in public service.

 The Public Service Internship Bill, 2022 which is at its Second Reading seeks to improve the working conditions of interns in public offices in both national and county governments. It calls for interns engaged in public service to be entitled to sick leave as well as maternity or paternity leave for the period of their attachment.

Also, the Bill wants the interns to be paid subsistence allowance as may be determined by the Cabinet Secretary in charge of labour. Personal accident insurance cover to be valid for the duration of the internship period.

 “The Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) gives opportunities to interns as well but they do so as PSC. The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) also employs and even gives opportunities to interns. They do so through their own Commission. If we have a guiding policy we will create employment and protect the welfare of our graduates,” Naisula said during the second reading of the bill in July 2024.
