Opposition leader, honorable Raila Odinga’s Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition has taken control of five key committees in the National Assembly.
The alliance is now in charge of the Finance, Health and Transport committees, as well as those of Energy, Labour, Regional Integration, and Trade and Industry, the coalition is also still seeking to capture more seats in their bid to control the National Assembly.
There has been some power struggle between the Kenya Kwanza coalition and the Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Coalition. President William Ruto’s coalition agreed to step down and they handed over some five key powerful Parliamentary Committees to the opposition.
A source from the National Assembly disclosed that, despite all the moves that have been made, there are still some differences that have remained over the control of the Budget and Appropriations Committee and the Departmental Committee on Finance and Planning.
The two coalitions are very keen on controlling these two committees due to the fact that, they are very influential especially when it comes to the National Budget.
As things stand, the Kenya Kwanza Coalition will surely take control over the two committees and they will ride on the fact that, the Speaker of the National Assembly, honorable Moses Wetangula declared them as the majority in the National Assembly.
It is also believed that, the ruling coalition will retain the Committee and they will not expel honorable Ndindi Nyoro who is the Chairman of Budget and Appropriations Committee because it can have very ripple effects on the government.
Some people had proposed that, the Kiharu Constituency member of Parliament, should be ousted from his position because they suspect that he is affiliated to the impeached Deputy President, honorable Rigathi Gachagua.
He chose to take a low profile during his impeachment and also during the approval of Professor Kithure Kindiki as the appointed Deputy President by President William Ruto.
