Nairobi, Kenya – KenyaTrak has released its highly anticipated Best Performing Members of Parliament Rating 2025, recognizing top-performing MPs based on their leadership, service delivery, and, in some cases, the effective utilization of the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF).
The report, dated June 19, 2025, highlights MPs who have demonstrated outstanding performance and strategic impact in advancing development within their constituencies.
The rankings were derived from a quantitative survey conducted between June 1st and 7th, 2025, using a random, multi-stage stratified sampling approach proportional to population size. The survey targeted Kenyan adults aged 18 and above who are registered voters.
A total of 5,415 respondents participated in the study through telephonic household interviews, covering all sub-counties in Kenya. The analysis factored in regional, gender, and age distribution, with counties grouped into 12 statistical regions. The survey’s national margin of error is ±1.554 percent at a 94 percent confidence level, with regional variations averaging ±5 percent.
The survey sampled a diverse group of respondents across the country, with 54 percent female and 46 percent male participants. Fifty-five percent of respondents were from rural areas and 45 percent from urban centers. The age groups were distributed as follows: 34 percent aged between 18-34 years, 26 percent between 35-44 years, 22 percent between 45-54 years, and 18 percent above 55 years. Income levels ranged from no income to above KES 75,000 per month.
According to the survey, the top-performing MPs for June 2025 are Ndindi Nyoro of Kiharu Constituency, Babu Owino of Embakasi East, Bwire John Okano of Taveta, Peter Salasya Kalerwa of Mumias East, Phylis Bartoo Jepkemoi of Moiben, Joseph Munyoro of Kigumo, Machele Mohamed of Mvita, Gathoni Wamuchomba of Githunguri, Mark Mwenje of Embakasi West, Muhia Wanjiku of Kipipiri, Kimani Ichung'wa of Kikuyu, Mark Nyamita of Uriri, Silvanus Osoro of South Mugirango, Suzanne Kiamba of Makueni, and Mohamed Abdikheir of Lafey.
The report further evaluated MPs based on their utilization of the NG-CDF, focusing on leadership, transparency, and community impact.
Key assessment areas included transparency and accountability, financial openness, and access to project information. MPs were also evaluated on their support for education through bursaries and school infrastructure, investment in roads, water, electricity, and public utilities, as well as community engagement and responsiveness to constituent needs.
KenyaTrak emphasized that while NG-CDF allocations are uniform, the impact varies significantly depending on each MP’s leadership, accountability, and project management capacity.
The performance ranking is designed to encourage best practices, promote healthy competition among MPs, and inspire greater public participation and oversight in managing development funds.
KenyaTrak's findings are expected to spark national conversations about leadership effectiveness and citizen-centered development in the coming months.
