The UDA youth leader Essy Okenyuri will have to wait for the substantive appointment of Cabinet Secretaries to know whether she will be nominated to Senate.

UDA could proceed to gazette Ms Okenyuri to replace Nominated Senator Soipan Tuya if she is approved by the National Assembly as Environment and Forestry Cabinet Secretary.
