Raila Odinga's ODM party may have after all succumbed to pressure on representation to influential Public Service Commission committee, a source has intimated.
Prior to Monday's meeting, NASA affiliates among them Wiper and ANC had threatened to pull out of inauguration plans, a move that could have led the orange party to change tact.
"They raised fundamental issues and Raila has considered them with consultations. ODM shall relinquish one PSC slot to Wiper," said the source who spoke in confidence.
Before parliament went for recess, Borabu MP Ben Momanyi had accused ODM of mistrust leading to temporary halt of submission of members to PSC.
And his determination, the source says, may have borne fruits since he is said to have been considered for the slot.
"Wiper will be represented by Momanyi and I am yet to know who will suffer fate but it is likely to be one of ODM representatives."
Momanyi is one of vocal Wiper MPs and is is said to be juxtapositioning himself for Nyamira governorship in 2022.
Initially, ODM had proposed Aisha Jumwa and Gladys Wanga for the position and it is likely Raila may have sacrificed Wanga.
