President Uhuru Kenyatta today handed over a brand new car to John Paul Mwirigi, the 23-year-old Igembe South MP, at the Sagana State Lodge in Nyeri.
The President had promised to buy the Independent MP a car soon after the Igembe South MP was elected on August 8.
Mwirigi traversed the constituency on foot during the campaign.
The youthful MP thanked the President for the gift, saying he will now be able to serve his constituents better with the new vehicle.

The MP, an undergraduate student of Education at Mount Kenya University, got 76 per cent of the votes cast.
He succeeds Mr Mithika Linturi, who is now the Meru Senator.
His competitors were Jubilee candidate Rufus Muriti, Mzalendo Mwenda (PNU), Mutuma Kubai of Maendeleo Chap Chap and Raphael Murigi of Democratic Party.
In a similar event, Churchill Raw comedian MC Jessy and Carol Nkirote Thuranira Pulei, the woman who designed President Kenyatta's famous shirt during Jubilee Party's National Delegates Convention, surprised Igembe South MP John Mwirigi with an extreme make-over on Wednesday.
Speaking exclusively to Kenyans.co.ke, MC Jessy stated that he and his friends took it upon themselves to dress up the young legislator to give him a look worthy of his status.
Mr Mwirigi has often been seen in a grey sweater that has seen better days but was pleasantly surprised when he was given the chance to choose his preferred suit from an array of top quality samples.
