| Notes |
"At 39, Kathiani's Ms Wavinya Ndeti has made history by being the first woman to be elected to Parliament in Machakos district since independence.
Before venturing into politics Ms Ndeti belonged to a crop of young women business executives. She was the chief executive officer of an information and communication technology company in Nairobi.
She is the last born of pioneer Athi River businessman Peter Nzuki Ndeti and Mrs Elizabeth Mukulu. Her father who was among the very first African businessmen in the town in the 1940s, shares a record of sorts with Ms Margaret Kenyatta, daughter of founding President Jomo Kenyatta as the first councillors to be elected unopposed in independent Kenya."
