Kiharu Member of Parliament Ndindi Nyoro on Tuesday addressed his recent dismissal as the chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee in the National Assembly.
While speaking to the press on Tuesday, March 18, at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) in Nairobi, Nyoro clarified that he does not know why he was removed from the Committee role
According to Nyoro, despite being replaced a week ago, he never received any explanation from the coalition leaders stating why they decided to get rid of him.
He divulged that he learned of his dismissal as the Committee Chairperson from the newspaper and that no individual called to enquire on why he had been removed from the powerful and the most privileged parliamentary position
‘’I don’t know why I was replaced, I am saying it in good faith, I came to set the record straight. No one in the leadership of our coalition has ever called me in regards to the position,” Nyoro revealed.
“I was holding this position knowing that I was serving Kenyans, so I am answerable, I read in newspapers about my removal the same way you did and that is the truth,” the vocal legislator who worked round the clock to support the ruling party added

However, he expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to serve Kenyans as the chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee adding that the opportunity gave him the chance to learn a lot of many things.
Nevertheless, he maintained that he did not have any regrets about his removal from the role, describing it as just normal experiences of being a human being.
“Very rarely will I have regrets, what I have are lessons to do this better, not only about doing better but also to treat people better,” the Kiharu lawmaker reiterated.
