Azimio coalition has replaced the name of Isiolo Senator Fatuma Dullo with her Nyamira counterpart Okong'o Omogeni as its nominee to the Parliamentary Service Commission.
The Senate has approved a motion by the Minority wing to amend the motion from the National Assembly that sought to approve a list containing Dullo's name.
Minority leader Steward Madzayo moved the amendment motion that was unanimously approved by the House.
"I move that the motion be amended to delete the name of Senator Fatuma Dullo and substituting it with the name of Hon Erick Okong'o Omogeni, senior counsel," Madzayo said.
In what exposed divisions in the Azimio coalition, Madzayo said he wrote to the speaker to disregard a letter he had received from other members nominating Dullo to the Commission.
"In all the letters that come from the minority, I am the authority. Unfortunately, this was not to be so and another letter was written which led to that appointment (of Dullo)" he said.
Seconding the motion, Kitui senator and Deputy Minority leader Enoch Wambua said that Madzayo is the authority for the minority wing and that his letter overrides others.
"The substitution of the name of our friend Fatuma Dullo with the name of senior counsel Okong'o Omogeni has attracted a very bipartisan approach," he said.
The amendment implies that the motion will go back to the National Assembly for concurrence.
