Hon. Mwathi was elected unopposed to take over the Chairperson role from the late Kiambaa MP Paul Koinange who succumbed to Covid-19 complications.
Wajir woman rep Fatuma Gedi had expressed interest in the seat but she did not submit her application by the deadline. The members of the committee asked their new chairman to take up from where Koinange left.
Legislatures have hailed Mwathi as having what it takes to push the committee to greater heights. Mwathi was until his election on Tuesday was the chairman of the Labour Committee.
On his part, Mwathi, thanked the members for the confidence, "I promise we will walk the journey together. The late Koinange was my close friend," he said.
Mwathi joined the parliament in 2013, having served in the Ministry of Public Works, and NYS.
