The Center for Multiparty Democracy ( CMD-Kenya) would like to acknowledge, with thanks, the immense work done by Hon. Wanyiri Kihoro for the long and tedious hours that he put in researching, compiling and editing this book. It is worth noting that this is one of the pioneer works on the subject of Parliament and Parliamentarians spanning a little over four decades from 1944 to 2007. History will forever be grateful to Hon. Wanyiri for this unique and useful contribution.
