Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has been removed from the Senate Committee on Energy following changes to the membership of several standing committees approved through a motion tabled in the Senate.
The changes were announced on Wednesday, June 17, by Senate Majority Leader Aaron Cheruiyot, who gave notice of a motion seeking the reconstitution of various Senate committees in accordance with the Standing Orders.
“I rise to give notice of the following motion, which is the reconstitution of standing committees that notwithstanding the resolution of the Senate made on the 12th of February 2025 and on the approval of senators to serve in various standing committees of the Senate and pursuant to Standing Order number 197, 199, 228, and the fourth schedule to the Standing Orders, the Senate approves the following senators nominated by the Senate Business Committee to serve in the standing committees of the Senate as follows,” Cheruiyot told the House.
Under the proposed changes, Homa Bay Senator Moses Kajwang’ will replace Sifuna in the committee chaired by Siaya Senator and ODM leader Oburu Oginga.
The motion also proposes that Garissa Senator Abdul Mohammed Haji join the Committee on Energy, replacing Nominated Senator Beatrice Akinyi Ogolla.

He added that the coalition party would combine ‘Linda Mwananchi’s name and the Wiper Patriotic Front Party slogan, ‘Komboa Kenya’.
