The parliament roads were temporarily closed today early in the morning following the move by Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) Members of parliament (MPs) to disrupt the special sitting proceedings called by Speaker Justin Muturi.
The CORD lawmakers paralysed business at the National Assembly for over two hours, and blocked Mr Muturi from accessing the chambers, saying the 9.30am sitting was illegal since their House leadership had not been consulted.
The House was expected to debate the laws and regulations that will guide the 2017 General Election.”The gazetted time for this sitting was 9.30. Its way past that time,” Kisumu West MP Olago Aluoch, Ford-Kenya, said.

“We will not allow Jubilee to sneak in the Mace (the House’s symbol of authority). The only sitting that can now be properly constituted is the one at 2.30.”
