A fierce lobbying battle has erupted in Parliament as MPs vie for positions in key committees set for reconstitution. The move follows Speaker Moses Wetang’ula’s directive to restructure 18 National Assembly committees and Senate leadership’s plan to overhaul all 19 committees, causing unease among lawmakers.
Reports suggest a targeted shake-up to replace committee heads and deputies loyal to former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua with trusted allies. MPs have been mobilizing in regional blocs to secure leadership roles in influential committees, further intensifying the political maneuvering.
