Speaker Beatrice Elachi, while communicating to the House after the reconstitution were effected, said that the suspended MCAs will be considered to rejoin the committees after they have served their suspension terms.
At the same time, five other ward reps from ODM were omitted from House committees for failing to pay their monthly subscription fees.
Without mentioning their names, minority whip Peter Imwatok said he punished the MCAs were suspended from House committees until they clear the monthly subscription fees.
