Editor's Review

"PSC is mandated to ensure the smooth functioning of the Houses of Parliament and Senate of Kenya and the National Assembly of Kenya."

Siaya Senator Oburu Odinga and Sirisia MP John Waluke have been dropped from a list of MPs nominated to the Parliamentary Service Commission.

On November 2, nominated Oburu together with Patrick Makau and Likoni MP Mishi Mboko to the PSC.

Oburu is the elder brother of ODM leader Raila Odinga.

But in the fresh list, Oburu has been replaced with Isiolo Senator Fatuma Dullo.

“I am pleased to confirm that the minority party nominees from the National Assembly to the PSC are Mishi Mboko and Patrick Makau,” a letter communicating the changes read.

In the list also by the Azimio members, MP Waluke has been elbowed out.
