Ndindi Nyoro, More Gachagua Allies Face Removal From Parliament Committees As Azimio Gets More Slots[LIST]

Kiharu Member of Parliament Ndindi Nyoro is among chairpersons of departmental committees in Parliament who will face the axe in the latest purge of Parliamentary committees.

In the looming changes, the minority will get 5 slots of committees normally chaired by the majority side.

Speaker Moses Wetangula stated: “There are still more negotiations between Kenya Kwanza and Azimio…Liaison committee will take charge of the Budget Policy Statement until a new budget committee is formed.”

Senate Majority Leader Aaron Cheruiyot on his part noted: “If you no longer support government policy out there, surely, won’t I be stupid to expect that when I give you a chance to chair those committees you will not do the opposite?”

Other Gachagua who are facing the axe include Embakasi North MP James Gakuya who is currently chairing the Trade, Investment and Cooperatives Committee; Kipipiri legislator Wanjiku Muhia, who chairs the Regional Integration Committee, and Runyenjes lawmaker Eric Karemba who occupies the Labour Committee.

The Azimio side is likely going to take over their seats, including the Health Committee chaired by Endebes MP Robert Pukose, in a give and take deal entered into at a State House meeting on Monday.

This comes just days after other Gachagua allies and friends were striped off their roles in Senate committees.

They include Murang’a Senator Joe Nyutu, Kiambu Senator Karungo wa Thang’wa, Nyandarua’s John Methu, Kirinyaga’s james murango, and Kajiado’s Kanar Seki.
