Former Cabinet minister Simeon Nyachae served as Nyaribari Chache MP for 15 years. He easily won the seat in 1992 and served until 2007.
Hansard records indicate how he used his parliamentary seat to champion the interests of his constituents as well as defend the governments of Daniel arap Moi and Mwai Kibaki, where he served as a Cabinet Minister in various dockets.
On May 2, 2006, while supporting the Sexual Offences Bill sponsored by then Nominated MP Njoki Ndung u (now Supreme Court judge), Nyachae passionately vouched for stiffer penalties for offenders.
“We cannot give in to the human beasts; people who are not human beings in their brains. The people who are harassing people sexually through rape and such similar behaviour are not to be taken for granted. We should take a decision to even isolate them,” said Nyachae.
