He continued by taking note of the very many challenges ahead especially the many tasks expected to be expedited by the committee on matters budget.
“We will do everything possible to live up to the expectations of Kenyans,” said the legislator.
The shake up in Parliament is expected to continue as those in Raila Odinga’s camp are expected to take over some of the most important position, replacing those affiliated to former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
The Senate will also see entrance of Raila’s allies to some of the departmental committees and so will be the Cabinet positions.
