Career
John G. M. Mwirichia is a Kenyan politician and businessman. Mwirichia’s identification with the mwananchi has endeared him to Kenyan hearts. He has in the past visibly opposed the award of salary increment by MPs and was quoted by both the Standard newspaper (Kenya) and Kenya Television Network (KTN) of 26 June 2002 thus: “ the proposed hike by the MPs was tantamount to asking Kenyans to bribe them to represent them in Parliament”
He has argued vehemently that this Country did not need and still does not need ‘Foreign Constitutional Experts’ as equivalents can easily be found within the borders.
Lacking though is political goodwill to implement this state of affairs
He also criticized the ‘request’ to subsidize ineptitude, mismanagement and corruption by Nairobi City Council when they wanted to increase Rates by 3000% in 2001 and the same was revoked by the then Local Government Minister Honorary Uhuru Kenyatta. Mwirichia is also currently serving as Finance Director of Kenya Industrial Estates.
