The opposition National Super Alliance has dropped Homa Bay Woman Representative Gladys Wanga from the Parliamentary Service Commission lit.

The coalition has nominated Malindi MP Aisha Jumwa and Vihiga Senator George Khaniri to the commission.

Nasa presented the names Thursday afternoon to the Speaker of the National Assembly Justin Muturi ending the tough balancing act that the opposition has faced over the nomination.

The opposition was struggling with how to balance its nominees after the Wiper party nominated Borabu MP Benson Momanyi to PSC.

Although other Nasa affiliate parties protested the move accusing the Kalonzo Musyoka led party of working with Jubilee to rock the coalition, Wiper Party maintained that they are rightfully entitled to the position.

Speaker Muturi however ruled on Wednesday that Mr Momanyi was correctly nominated by Wiper a move that made Nasa to go back to the drawing board on who to drop between Mr Khaniri, Jumwa and Ms Wanga.

Jubilee through majority leader Aden Duale had earlier vowed to vote out Ms Wanga is she is nominated by the opposition claiming she has been abusive to the President.

MPs are set to vote for the nominees later Thursday.

The commission deals with the welfare of the lawmakers.
