Kiharu Member of Parliament Ndindi Nyoro has been kicked out as the chairperson of the National Assembly Committee on Budget and Appropriations.
However, the lawmaker remains a member of the committee until the members meet in seven days to elect their new chairpersons.
While moving the motion for the lawmakers' removal on Wednesday, South Mugirango MP Sylvanus Osoro stated that over 90 MPs expressed interest in joining the committee and supported the reconstitution of the committees. "Over 90 members showed interest in being members of the budget and appropriations committee, which was not very easy. 90, yet the provision of standing orders only provides for 27.
The only way one can balance such is through coming up with a formula, and that formula is regional issues, the question of gender, the question of political affiliation, and negotiations," Osoro stated.
