The Mosop member of parliament, Abraham Kirwa, has returned to Kenya after nearly two years abroad receiving medical care in Dallas, United States, for a serious stroke. His arrival at the JKIA was met by a large crowd of supporters and fellow lawmakers, including members of parliament Bernard Kitur, Maryanne Kittany, and Paul Biego. Kirwa expressed his deep thanks for the public support during his recovery, stating he was overwhelmed by the welcome and grateful to be alive.
The legislators present assured constituents that development projects in Mosop had continued uninterrupted during the MP's absence. They cited a high number of ongoing initiatives as evidence that the constituency had not been neglected.
Kirwa's return coincides with a legal challenge from a voter, Timothy Tororey, who is asking the High Court to declare the parliamentary seat vacant. The petition argues that the MP's extended absence has effectively silenced the constituency in the National Assembly, causing democratic injury. It further accuses the Speaker of the National Assembly, Moses Wetangula, of failing to act on constitutional provisions regarding such prolonged absences.
