East MP Babu Owino Joyfully Receives His Award Certificate As Kenya's Top-Performing
Lawmaker From Infotrak.
By Maximilla Wafula
Embakasi East Member of Parliament, Hon. Babu Owino
Paul, has emerged as the top-performing lawmaker in Kenya, according to the
latest 2026 Infotrak Elected Leaders Performance Rating. The extensive survey,
which evaluated elected leaders across all 47 counties, 290 constituencies, and
1,450 wards, utilized a 1–10 Likert scale to gather citizen perceptions on
leadership delivery. Babu Owino clinched the highest position nationwide among
Members of Parliament, scoring an impressive 80%.
Following closely behind the Embakasi East
legislator is Kabuchai MP, Hon. Joseph Simiyu Kalasinga, who secured the second
position nationally with 78%. Taveta MP Hon. John Okano Bwire and Kiharu MP
Hon. Samson Ndindi Nyoro tied for third place, each posting a commendable score
of 76%. The survey highlights that a leader's scorecard is heavily influenced
by delivery on promises, transparency and accountability, and visible
development projects, particularly through proper utilization of NG-CDF
allocations.
In the Senate category, Kirinyaga Senator Hon. Kamau
Murango led his peers across the country with an overall score of 69%.
Nyandarua’s Hon. John Methu followed tightly in second place with 68%, while
Murang'a Senator Hon. Joel Nyutu took the third spot with 65%.
Among the Women Representatives, Kirinyaga County
continued its winning streak as Hon. Jane Njeri Maina topped the national list
with 67%. West Pokot's Hon. Rael Chepkemoi Kasiwai ranked second with 61%, and
Samburu’s Hon. Pauline Lenguris stood third at 60%. The report noted that Women
Representatives often face unique communication hurdles, as their advocacy and
inclusion roles are less physically visible than traditional infrastructure
projects.
Infotrak emphasized that this rating index
represents a direct mirror of public opinion based on lived experiences rather
than a technical audit of resources. It serves as an essential mechanism for
democratic accountability, tracking how effectively leaders maintain
accessibility, visibility, and responsiveness between election periods.
