Peter Salasya, a lawmaker from Mumias East, just purchased his first vehicle as a representative. Within months of taking office, Salasya purchased a Toyota V8 for himself and five school buses for his constituents.
The young MP thanked the residents of Mumias East while displaying his new ride, claiming that the car actually belonged to the people who elected him.
“Thank you people of #MumiasEast for the amazing trust and love you have in me. I will serve you tirelessly in realizing your dream, and all Kenyans through my committee of Agriculture, Regional Development alongside regional integration,” Salasya said.

The MP stated he would now return the car that former Defense Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa had given him before purchasing his own vehicle.
“I want to thank former minister Eugene, you helped with this vehicle but now I will give it back since it has gotten a twin brother,” Salasya said.
Along with providing the legislator with a car, Wamalwa also assisted in building a good home for him because his prior residence was made of grass.

Five school buses were eventually delivered to the MP for use at various schools in his district. The MP acknowledged his penchant for silly moments while accepting the buses but declared he was serious about providing his constituents with services.
“I have just been handed over with five keys of five buses and released them, that I will be commissioning tomorrow in my constituency of Mumias East, my people know I love drama so much, but very organized in the delivery of my duties that I was elected for. But I will remain myself,” Salasya said.
