The nomination of Ms Malonza was unanimously rejected by the vetting committee, which tabled its report in Parliament on Tuesday afternoon.
The report also includes a minority report, from opposition Azimio MPs led by Junet Mohamed, recommending the rejection of Public Service Cabinet Secretary nominee Aisha Jumwa and Agriculture’s Mithika Linturi.
MPs are currently debating the report, which can be amended, before a vote is taken.
Ms Malonza is the former Kitui Deputy Governor. She is also a former senior executive with Compassion International, a non-governmental organisation.
