ODM MPs begin lobbying to replace Ababu Nambwamba as PAC Chair

ODM Chairman John Mbadi (2nd L) is among those who want to be elected chair of PAC

NAIROBI: Three CORD MPs begin lobbying for chairmanship of PAC just as Committee on Selection settles on new names for members. ODM chairman John Mbadi who has been sitting in the committee says he is fit to lead the watchdog committee. Mbadi who stepped down for Ababu Namwamba at the beginning of the term of the House says he will not step down this time round.
Eseli Simiyu (Tongaren) and Abdikadir Aden (Balambala) are also in the race.

The seat will have to go to an ODM MP from Western Kenya for political reasons now that Namwamba comes from that region.
