The complete list and final results for the Jubilee Party
and NASA coalition nominees to the East Africa Legislative Assembly (EALA) are
out. The Senate had on Thursday, December 14, approved a total of 14 names of
nominees to EALA from both the National Super Alliance (NASA) coalition and
Jubilee Party (JP).
The National Assembly has now confirmed the names, including
those of Raila Odinga's elder brother and ex-lawmaker, Oburu Oginga, and
Kalonzo Musyoka's son, Kennedy Musyoka.
The Senate-approved names of the nominees from both sides of
the political divide had been forwarded to the National Assembly by Speaker of
the Senate Ken Lusaka. The National Assembly was to either reject or affirm the
decision reached by the Senate, after which the finally list of nominees was to
be released.

As reported earlier by The Evening Post, the nomination of
Raila's brother and Kalonzo's son to EALA was disputed by some members within
the NASA coalition and Jubilee Party leaders. A senior Ford Kenya official
moved to court to challenge the list of nominees that had been submitted by
NASA.
The Evening Post gathered that Ford Kenya Assistant Secretary
General Yasser Sheikh wanted the list submitted to Parliament changed.
