Samburu West MP Naisula Lesuuda asks her political rivals to focus their critique on her development records instead of her choice of marriage partner.


The MP challenged aspiring politicians in Samburu West Constituency for resorting for going personal lodging on her choice to marry a man from a neighbouring county.


“I have been on the campaign trail with Samburu men, even to late hours, but none ever asked for my hand in marriage. I slept in hotels and dine with Samburu men but none came to me for marriage. That is why I found someone else to marry. My parents approved and he paid the dowry,” said the Samburu West lawmaker.


Lesuuda was speaking at a wedding and in reply to criticism for settling for a husband who hails from Baringo County.


The MP said that her critics were alleging that because of her marriage she will not vie in Samburu County in 2022.

“I completed my education to university level and also worked in this county as a nominated senator so the issue of saying that I will not vie for Samburu West during the next election does not scare me at all. I belong in this county,” said Lesuuda.
