The National Super Alliance (NASA) leadership in the National Assembly yesterday told the House clerk, Michael Sialai, it could not provide names of its MPs to sit in the Committee on Appointments because it did not recognise Uhuru Kenyatta’s presidency.

Minority Leader John Mbadi told the Clerk according to the alliance, the Presidency was yet to be filled substantively and as such, there was no reason to constitute the House committee whose sole mandate is to vet nominees to the Cabinet.
