Gumbo beats Mbadi in race to head new-look PAC

Rarieda MP Nicholas Gumbo was on Tuesday elected as new chairman of the National Assembly’s Public Accounts Committee and pledged to fight graft in the watchdog.

The ODM legislator got the backing of MPs from Jubilee and some Cord members who seemingly defied their coalition’s leadership to have ODM chairman and Suba MP John Mbadi succeed Ababu Namwamba as head of the oversight committee.
