Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated MP) has been elected unopposed as the chairperson for the Regional Integration Committee.

The vice chairperson seat has been taken by Fafi MP. Hon. Farah Salah who was equally elected unchallenged following Hon. Makali Mulu's decision to withdraw his candidature.

"I have stepped down for Hon. Farah so that he may continue as the vice chairperson. I will continue being faithful to the Kenyans and in discharging my duty as a Member of this Committee," said Hon. Mulu.

However, Members of the Committee acknowledged the good work done by the outgoing chairperson, Hon. Wanjiku Muhia (Kipipiri MP) and pledged their support to the new leadership of the Committee. 

While expressing her unwavering support to the new leadership, Kipipiri MP highlighted a few milestones so far achieved by the Committee, including streamlining the Immigration Department, which led to a reduction of the passport processing period to 7 days.

On his part, Fafi MP, Hon. Farah Salah thanked Hon. Makali Mulu for stepping down for him and urged members of the Committee to continue with the synergy they previously demonstrated 

"We never lacked quorum in this Committee. Let us continue with the same high spirit," said Hon. Farah

While addressing the Committee after the elections, Hon. Irene Mayaka thanked the Members for the support given to her and called for teamwork and consistency in Committee attendance.

"With your support, the vice chairperson and I shall take this Committee to the next level," said Hon. Mayaka.
