"Indeed a new chapter and opportunity as I mentioned this morning to promote Parliamentary Democracy that will enhance service delivery to the People we represent," his post read.

Welcome opportunity

Ichung’wa, noted that his new committee role will go beyond the provision of catering services to MPs.

"... catering is very important… but member services include being facilitated to attend even today’s House sitting to be able to transact parliamentary business," the Kikuyu MP stated.

In June, Majority Chief Whip Emmanuel Wangwe wrote to 16 Jubilee MPs, notifying them of plans to discharge them from key committees in the National Assembly.
