Last month, Kiarie while attending the post-election seminar for the National Assembly, rolled back the years with a funky sketch done with a ball pen.
The sketch depicts a girl with afro hair, a pair of sunglasses, a pair of earrings, and a headband with a shield. The girl’s hair is inscribed with the word ‘soul.’
Before joining politics, Kiarie made a name for himself as part of the Redykyulass troop. He also taught at Materi Girls Center and State House Girls High School before becoming a strip cartoonist for the Sunday Nation.
While drawing is like riding a bicycle, once you get the craft you can never forget it, Kiarie has ensured that he keeps sharpening his skills in his different political meetings.
He was first elected to Parliament in 2017 on a Jubilee Party of Kenya ticket. In last year’s General Election, he successfully contested the Dagoretti South seat on a United Democratic Alliance (UDA).
