Parliament is expected to form a joint committee from both the National Assembly and the Senate to vet nominees to the East Africa Legislative Assembly.

The 14-member panel, comprising seven members from either House, then holds its inaugural meeting to set the grounds for the vetting exercise. This has already been done with Makueni Senator Dan Maanzo and Kipipiri MP Wamjiku muhia being appointed as the co-chairs.
