MPs Thursday voted to form a select committee to investigate the conduct of Agriculture CS Mithika Linturi.
A total of 149 members voted in favour while 36 rejected it.
Three of the members abstained.
In today’s special debate, a third of the 349 members were required to vote for it to move to the next level.
This translates to 116 members.
The 11-member select committee will comprise six from the majority side which is Kenya Kwanza, four from the minority side and one from the Jubilee party.
In his ruling, Wetangula ordered the parliamentary teams to nominate the names by 1:45 pm.
"I direct that the names must be submitted to me not later than 1.45 pm," he ordered.
The House business committee will then be required to bring a motion to the House for consideration of the names.
In nominating the names, the speaker directed the parliamentary groups to factor in regional and gender rules.
During the motion to approve the names, a vote will be conducted where the members may either approve the list as it is or drop some names.
Once fully constituted, the committee will be required to report back to the house within 10 days.
This means the appointed members of the committee may be forced to convene early next week to deliberate on the matter.
The House is set to proceed on a month-long recess beginning tomorrow.
