National Assembly approves 27 Public Accounts Committee members

Kenya: The National Assembly has approved 27 members to the Public Accounts Committee which had been dissolved following bribery and extortion allegations.

It took less than 15 minutes for the Majority Leader Aden Duale and Minority Leader Francis Nyenze to rally the lawmakers to back the list of 27, which includes 21 MPs from the previous team. As soon as the party leaders were done, the MPs pleaded with the Speaker Justin Muturi to put the matter to vote.
