Dan Maanzo of Makueni and Kamau Murango of Kirinyaga have been ranked the best-performing Senators of 2024, according to recent data by Infotrak Research and Consulting.
Per the Elected Leaders Performance Index released on Wednesday, February 12, the duo amassed a joint score of 52 per cent, more than the other senators surveyed.
Joe Nyutu (Muranga) and Okiya Omtatah (Busia) both had a score of 50 per cent, sharing position three. Omtatah notably dropped to third, having been ranked the best Senator in 2023, owing to his frontline position in the Gen Z movement which had called for an overhaul of the leadership and structure in 2024.
John Methu (Nyandarua) and Richard Onyonka (Kisii) each scored 49 per cent, ranking fifth and sixth among the top 10 senators.
