The Orange Democratic Movement party on Wednesday swept the chairmanship positions of the newly constituted committees following high stakes elections in the National Assembly.
Raila Odinga's men took charge of crucial House committees that were formerly chaired by their Kenya Kwanza counterparts, signalling the entrenchment of the so-called broad-based agenda in Parliament.
This now places ODM in a unique place as it is in control of some committees ideally chaired by the majority and minority.
The sibling rivalry within ODM, however, played out during the elections of Audit and Appropriations and select committees, with the outcome of the results further widening the rift within the party and the larger Azimio Coalition.
