Nairobi — Kikuyu Member of Parliament Kimani Ichung'wa has been named as the Kenya Kwanza House Leader to be deputized by Kilifi North Owen Baya.

The decision which was made as the alliance concluded its two-day retreat of elected leaders in Naivasha.

South Mugirango Sylvanus Osoro was designated as the Chief Whip to be deputized by Nominated MP Naomi Waqo.

Kericho Senator Aaron Cheruiyot will become the Senate Majority Leader while his Nakuru counterpart Tabitha Karanja will deputize him.

Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale was designated as the Chief Whip to be deputized by Samburu Senator Stephen Lelegwe.
