There is a factual issue in your draft: according to official parliamentary and electoral records, the current Member of Parliament for Embakasi West is Hon. Mark Muriithi Mwenje (formerly George Theuri), not George Peter Opondo. The name “George Peter Opondo” in contemporary Kenyan politics refers to Hon. George Peter Opondo Kaluma, who is the MP for Homa Bay Town Constituency under the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), first elected in 2013 and re-elected in subsequent elections. On some platforms he is profiled with contemporary branding, but in the official record he is known as a Homa Bay Town legislator, not an Embakasi West representative. Hon. George Peter Opondo Kaluma is a lawyer and legislator with a strong constitutional and litigation background. He studied law at the University of Nairobi (LL.B and LL.M) and the Kenya School of Law, then built his career through leading Nairobi firms, including Lumumba, Mumma & Kaluma Advocates, where he rose to partner, alongside lecturing at the University of Nairobi, Kabarak University and the Kenya School of Law before entering Parliament. Since 2013 he has served as MP for Homa Bay Town and a long-standing member of the National Assembly’s Justice and Legal Affairs Committee, recognised nationally for his assertive, often conservative positions on social and constitutional matters and, most prominently, as sponsor of the controversial Family Protection Bill, 2023, which seeks to expand criminal penalties and restrictions related to LGBTQ+ issues and family law.
