The Friday sitting and the likelihood of a DP nominee announcement will come just a day after the Senate has made its decision on the impeachment charges against DP Gachagua. “It is a given that the MPs will be officially notified of the DP nominee on Friday to pave the way for the approval processes to kick in. “They have scheduled a sitting on Friday to receive the name of the DP nominee even before the Senate has made its position on the impeachment charges against the DP,” said Mr Musyoka. The National Assembly shall then vote on the nomination within 60 days after receiving the nominee from the president. However, there is no clarity on what should happen within the 60 days within which the National Assembly is required to consider and approve or reject the nominee.
