The Kajiado County assembly yesterday reshuffled committee heads and in some instances made new appointments to fill all major house committee positions.

This came following the passing of a motion by Majority Leader David Nkirrimpai.

Assembly Speaker, Johnson Osoi (pictured) said these changes give the assembly a new face in terms of gender and regional equity.

"Committee heads must ensure that they deliver. We have had instances where committees have shown laxity in transacting the assembly’s business and stringent measures will be enforced to ensure these changes," he said.

Mr Osoi said the teams will be directed by a committee operational manual and those who will fail to adhere to it, will not draw allowances from the exchequer. The speaker regretted that the assembly was lagging behind on a number of bills.
