The election of chairpersons of the National Assembly Committees did not miss its fair share of interesting moments when a point of order turned into a discussion against former chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro. 

On Tuesday, Nyoro and the committee he chaired became subject of discussion after Emuhaya MP Omboko Milemba, raised questions on the budget-making process, saying there was money allocated through public participation to different counties.

“Matters budgeting are expressly documented in our Constitution and in particular, matters relating to public participation. There has been practice of the budget committee moving around counties for public participation, they are allocated about Sh2 billion to every county. During this session, this has happened in about 21 counties,” Milemba said.
