Hon. Janet Jepkemboi Sitienei CBS

ASPIRING: MP –
Member of Parliament, Turbo Constituency
COUNTY: Uasin Gishu

Hon. Janet Jepkemboi Sitienei, CBS, is serving her second consecutive term as Member of Parliament for Turbo Constituency, which she has represented since 2017, and will defend the seat in the 2027 General Elections. She is a public administrator who won re-election under the United Democratic Alliance (UDA).

LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE

She is Vice-Chairperson of the Public Petitions Committee and a member of the Sports and Culture Committee. After losing in 2013, she won in 2017 as an Independent candidate and later joined UDA. In 2024 she received the Chief of the Order of the Burning Spear (CBS) award. Before politics she spent decades as a civil servant in agriculture, as Divisional Agricultural Extension Officer, Deputy Principal of Maibanga Agricultural Training Centre and District Agriculture Development Officer for Bungoma, and later as Political Advisor to the Uasin Gishu County Governor. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Food Nutrition and Dietetics from Egerton University and a Diploma in Agriculture and Home Management.

 

My political agenda

Drawing on her agricultural background, she lobbies for expanded fertiliser and input subsidies and market protections for smallholder maize and wheat farmers. A core pillar of her NG-CDF work is modernising primary and secondary schools across Turbo’s six wards. As Vice-Chairperson of Public Petitions she aims to streamline ways for citizens to table grievances before Parliament, and she pushes for the establishment, upgrading and equipping of public dispensaries and health centres.
