Stephen Mutinda Mule serves as the Member of Parliament for Matungulu Constituency in Machakos County. First elected in 2013, he has since been re-elected — including in the 2022 general election — making him a senior representative of the constituency. A trained biomedical/medical-engineer by background, Mule transitioned from private-sector engineering roles into elective politics. Politically, Mule is affiliated with the Wiper Democratic Movement–Kenya (WDM-K). Despite the significant realignments across party lines under Kenya Kwanza and nationwide shifts, he remains one of Wiper’s consistent voices from Machakos — described by some profiles as a “senior Wiper parliamentarian.” In Parliament, he has raised health, development-fund legislation and constituency-development issues, positioning himself as a legislator with technical background and grassroots outreach.
Longstanding representation of Matungulu (3+ terms): Serving continuously since 2013, he has provided continuity in representation at a time when many constituencies see high turnover.
Technical and health-sector background: With professional experience as a biomedical engineer, he brings technical insight to health-related legislation and oversight — beneficial in debates around health infrastructure and service delivery.
Court-nullified 2013 election and by-election rerun: His first election in 2013 was annulled by court over irregularities; he won the subsequent by-election in October 2013 to retain the seat.
Perceived limited legislative output (2022–2025): Public tracking of sponsored bills and motions indicates few registered private bills or major motions credited to him during the current term — a point occasionally raised by critics.
Mixed public perception on constituency delivery: While some community members credit him for CDF-linked road and school projects, others criticise perceived slow delivery or bottlenecks — common in county constituencies but periodically voiced.
Advocate for constituency development: Publicly listed priorities include improvement of roads, health facilities, schools and security infrastructure under NG-CDF and related local development efforts.
Vocal in parliamentary debates: His activity in the Hansard shows interventions on a variety of issues, including pensions, welfare of former MPs, and oversight — demonstrating engagement with national and constituency-level governance.
Switching political tides in Machakos: As a Wiper MP at a time when surrounding constituencies lean UDA or Kenya Kwanza, he faces political pressure and uncertainty, especially with shifting alliances at county or national levels. Nonetheless, there is no public record of investigations, graft, or criminal charges.
