She voted to pass the 2023 Finance Bill and also 2024 Finance Bill 2024 on 20 June 2024.
She is credited with aiding the grabbing of Ndabibi Farm. Kìhara was involved in defending President William Ruto over the ownership of a 5000-acre piece of land in Ndabibi. She insisted that Ruto had legally acquired the land and accused local leaders of orchestrating a land-grabbing scheme targeting unsuspecting owners.[citation needed]
In the 2021/2022 financial year, she had KSh 64 million in unsupported bursary payments from the NG-CDF. The Auditor General's report highlighted significant discrepancies and ineffective internal controls, raising concerns about the lawful use of public funds.[citation needed]
