He added that he was able to get first-hand experience on the things he was learning, and, therefore,
“It was also a continuation of a learning experience and especially in regard to many macroeconomic factors, how inflation is affected by interest rates, how interest rates affect private enterprise, and many other economic parameters that we hear, but they are also far reaching in terms of how we live, and they are also far reaching in terms of what our country becomes,” Ndindi added.
“And by the way, out of that experience, in the year 2023, I realized I also needed to upgrade a little bit because I singularly found that our country, yes, have many challenges, but the overarching challenge that we face as a country are economic challenges in nature.”

Nyoro stated that his role has been intense and busy and went ahead wishing the new chair and Alego Usonga MP, Sam Atandi the best he takes the committee forward.
“I also want to take this opportunity to wish the current chairman of the budget and appropriations committee and the leadership of that committee, all the best,” he said.
The lawmaker went ahead to thank the people of Kiharu constituency. He explained that to become the chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, one must first be elected as an MP. He added, “I don’t want to test them, but I’m just saying this with humility.”
“I am among the few MPs who, in the last elections, I was elected without producing a single poster. I’m not saying that as bravado, neither am I saying it to prove who I am. I’m saying it in humility that I’m very, very grateful to the people of Kiharu for that honor.”
The Kiharu legislator went on to state that he has never had a conversation with President William Ruto since he was removed from the committee leadership. He added that their last political discussion took place before October of last year.
