MPs have approved members to 32 Parliamentary committees on Thursday despite the Opposition failing to nominate members.
House Clerk Michael Sialai will from Tuesday next week preside over the election of committee chairpersons and deputies.
The committees have been expanded from 29 to 32 to enhance representation and inclusiveness of all 349 MPs.
Speaker Justin Muturi directed that Sialai issue notice to MPs, detailing the date, time and venue of the first meeting of the respective committees.
Sialai, who is the administrative and procedural head of the House, will oversee the first business of the committees which will be electing the chairs and vice-chairs.
Ugunja MP Opiyo Wandayi said: “I propose that in future, this House limits membership of each MP to only one committee so that they can effectively deliver.”
NASA has not picked members for the House business and appointments committees.
But this will not deter the appointment of President Uhuru Kenyatta’s new cabinet in mid-February.
