Speaker of the National Assembly Justin Muturi now says last week’s drama in parliament which forced him to adjourn House proceedings was “just people trying to get some bonga points here and there.”
Muturi adjourned house proceedings last Thursday after he claimed that a section of Members of Parliament had become grossly disorderly after Embakasi East member of Parliament Babu Owino defied his orders to leave the House.
“We are in that exciting moment of politics, and what happened in parliament was just people trying to get some bonga points here and there. We spent too much time discussing non-issues, but those are the procedures of the house,” Muturi stated.
The drama started when some Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) legislators blocked the Sergeant-at-Arms from ejecting Babu Owino who had engaged in an altercation with Muturi from the Chamber.
The incident occurred after Wajir Woman Representative Fatuma Gedi tabled evidence accusing DP William Ruto of land grabbing.
It remains unclear on what the Embakasi East MP said before he was ordered out of the house as he was not on record.
Despite the speaker issuing the orders, Owino refused to walk out of the chambers forcing the sergeants at arms to intervene in the situation.
This prompted the Speaker to adjourn the house which had been slated to go on recess.
