Mwaruma moved from the Senate County Public Accounts Committee, where he had served as vice chairman since 2022.

Nominated Senator Beth Syengo was elected vice chairperson of the committee.

She replaces Migori Senator Eddy Oketch, who was removed from the panel in changes approved by the House earlier this week.

Mwaruma thanked committee members for electing him to the position.

"I want to promise you that I have been around for some time and will operate an open-door policy. I urge you to attend meetings because we have a lot of work to do," Mwaruma said in his inaugural speech.
