Kiharu Member of Parliament Ndindi Nyoro has added another feather to his academic cap, graduating with a Master of Arts in Economics from Kenyatta University on Friday. This marks his second postgraduate degree in the field within a few months, following his Master of Arts in Economics from the University of Nairobi in September.

The graduation solidifies the lawmaker's focus on economic policy, a subject central to his political career. Nyoro's academic pursuits are not just personal milestones; they are closely watched indicators of his intentions on the national stage, where he has been both a powerful government ally and a vocal critic of its fiscal policies.

Nyoro previously stated that his decision to pursue two master's degrees simultaneously was driven by his tenure as the chairman of the powerful National Assembly Budget and Appropriations Committee. "I decided to do that because I wanted to deepen my knowledge in the economic platform," he noted earlier in the year, explaining the motivation came from a quest to make more efficient decisions for the country.

A Politician's Pivot to Policy

Nyoro's journey has seen him at the heart of the country's fiscal planning and, more recently, at odds with some government positions. After chairing the influential budget committee, he was later removed from the position in a parliamentary reshuffle. Since then, he has become an increasingly sharp critic of the government's borrowing and economic data, arguing for greater transparency and a focus on projects that directly impact citizens.

His recent academic achievements include:

• Master of Arts in Economics (Policy and Management) - Kenyatta University (December 2025)
• Master of Arts in Economics - University of Nairobi (September 2025)
• Bachelor of Arts in Economics - Kenyatta University (2009)

After his graduation from the University of Nairobi, Nyoro emphasized his concern over the national debt. "The appetite of odious borrowing is too high. We need to lower our appetite of borrowing so that we can guarantee Kenya currently and Kenya in the future," he warned.

As Nyoro continues to build his expertise, many Kenyans will be watching to see how he leverages this deeper economic knowledge to influence policy and shape the nation's financial future from the floor of Parliament.
