National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula has announced the nomination of seven persons to the Commission on Revenue Allocation.
Through a notice, Wetangula stated that political parties represented in the National Assembly and the Senate were required by the Constitution to nominate 2 and 5 persons respectively for the appointment as members of the Commission on Revenue Allocation from among persons who are not Members of Parliament.
The Majority party has nominated Benedict Muasya Mutiso, Jonas Misto Vincent, Isabel Nyambura Waiyaki and Hadija Nganyi Juma to the position.
Additionally, the minority party nominated Wilfred Koitamet Olekina, George Jalang’o Midiwo and Fatuma Gedi Ali as its representatives in the commission.
The list of the seven nominees drawn from the majority and minority will be submitted to the departmental committee on Finance and National Planning for vetting purposes as required in the Constitution.
Following the nominations, the clerk of the National Assembly is required to notify the public of the place and time of the approval hearings and invite members of the public to submit representations contesting the suitability of the nominees to hold office.
The term of office of the current members of the Commission for Revenue Allocation is set to terminate on December 31.
