Minority side MPs: Why we rejected Jumwa and Linturi

A screengrab of the report on why a section of the committee rejected Mithika Linturi.

"The members observed that the Committee had questioned the authenticity of Linturi's alleged University of Nairobi (UoN) law degree, noting that the institution had sought to discontinue Linturi over allegations of forgery of documents," said the report, which also linked Linturi to other cases including attempted rape and forgery.

The only other nominee to be rejected unanimously by the MPs was Peninah Malonza saying she did not demonstrate an understanding of the Tourism ministry that she had been picked to lead as Cabinet Secretary.

Besides the three, the remaining 21 Cabinet nominees were approved.

They are: are Musalia Mudavadi (Prime Cabinet Secretary), Simon Chelugui (Cooperatives and MSME's), Prof. Njuguna Ndungu (Treasury), Aden Duale (Defence), Moses Kuria (Trade), Justin Muturi (Attorney-General), Eliud Owalo (ICT), Ezekiel Machogu (Education), Kipchumba Murkomen (Transport), Prof. Kithure Kindiki (Interior), Davis Chirchir (Energy), Mercy Wanjau (Secretary to the Cabinet), Ababu Namwamba (Sports), Dr. Alfred Mutua (Foreign Affairs), Rebecca Miano (East African Community), Alice Wahome (Water), Florence Bore (Labour), Soipan Tuya (Environment), Salim Mvurya (Mining), Susan Nakhumicha (Health) and Zachariah Njeru (Lands).

The entire National Assembly will, on Tuesday evening, October 25, vote to endorse or reject the Committee on Appointment's recommendations.
