National Assembly speaker Justin Muturi has thwarted attempts by NASA MPs to be given more time to nominate representatives to the House Business Committee. Muturi told the first sitting of 12th Parliament the “House will not wait for the minority coalition” if they have failed to nominate members. “I agree it is very important to constitute the House Business Committee. Mbadi was reacting to majority leader Aden Duale's point that the committee could get the prerequisite quorum even if NASA does not nominate members. The Committee on Selection nominates members to serve in various other teams save for House Business and Appointments committees.
