ASPIRING: MP –
Moiben Constituency
COUNTY: Uasin Gishu

Hon. Prof. Phyllis Jepkemoi Bartoo is the Member of Parliament for Moiben Constituency, elected on a United Democratic Alliance (UDA) ticket in the 2022 General Elections after an 18-year career in higher education.

LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE

She holds a Bachelor of Education (Arts) from Kenyatta University and a PhD in Linguistics from the University of the Witwatersrand (2010). She spent nearly two decades at Egerton University as Senior Lecturer, Head of the Department of Literature, Language and Linguistics and Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, resigning in February 2022 to enter politics. She won the Moiben seat with 40,892 votes and serves on the Education and Research Committee and the Procedure and House Rules Committee.

 

My political agenda

Her legislative platform balances school development with agricultural interventions. She launched the “Dishi na Mama” food-for-education initiative, a school feeding programme designed to increase classroom retention among primary students in Moiben.
