Parliament is to vote this week on nine members of the East African Legislative Assembly, which begins sittings from next week. The process has been marred by controversy over nomination of Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka’s son Kennedy and Cord’s short list of only four names. Raila’s brother, nominated MP Oburu Oginga, was on the Cord list but dropped out due to nepotism controversy. The joint select committee processing the nominations has recommended to the House that Cord increase its number of nominees. A week ago, JP through National Assembly Majority leader Aden Duale, wrote to the joint committee opposing the four Cord nominees.
