A fierce battle for control of the Public Accounts Committee is unfolding, involving key allies of Raila Odinga.
At the center of the dispute are acting chairman and Butere MP Tindi Mwale and Saboti MP Caleb Amisi. Mwale took over as acting chair after John Mbadi’s cabinet appointment, while ODM’s leadership picked Amisi to replace Mbadi.
The conflict erupted publicly in Kakamega
, with both lawmakers accusing each other of political maneuvering. Mwale insists he deserves confirmation as chair due to his experience, while Amisi claims he was appointed by Raila. The committee’s influence over government spending makes the leadership struggle highly significant.
