45 Senators voted in favour of the select Committee to probe Waiguru against 14.

The 11-member select team comprises of senators: Abshiro Halake
Dr.Michael Mbito
Mwangi Paul Githiomi
Beth Mugo
Anuar Loitiptip
Philip Mpaayei
Cleophas Malalah
Beatrice Kwamboka
Stewart Madzayo
Judith Pareno and Moses Kajwang.

The motion to have Waiguru investigated by the Senate was moved by nominated Senator Farhiya Ali Haji.

Senate Minority Leader, James Orengo’s remarks that someone was after Waiguru’s head, and not the County Assembly as believed attracted criticism
Elgeyo-Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen who termed Orengo’s remarks as Unfortunate

“If this select committee is going to sanitise Waiguru, we should be told the truth,” said Murkomen.

Senator Orengo’s statements drew confusion in the House with most senators present in the chambers rising on a point of order, forcing Speaker Kenneth Lusaka to call for decorum.

“Honourable senators, the whole world is watching us. Let us conduct ourselves with decorum,” said Lusaka.

This came after senators voted against extension of time to debate upon it.

Some of the senators who voted in support of the committee include:
Samuel Poghisio (West Pokot)
Gideon Moi (Baringo)
Moses Kajwang (Homa Bay)
James Orengo (Siaya)

Ledama Olekina (Narok)
Ochilo Ayacko (Migori) among others.

Mithika Linturi (Meru)
Enoch Wambua (Kitui)
Njeru Ndwiga (Embu)
Charles Kibiru (Kirinyaga) among others.
