Senate Majority leader and National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale, both from Jubilee Party on Tuesday took a moment of drama on social media.
The two traded with bitter words over Duale’s sponsored bill.
The Health Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2019 that was signed into law by President Uhuru Kenyatta on Monday was the source of the clash.
It all started when the senate started advising the public not to adhere to a law signed by the president that amended sections of the health act.
Murkomen says the law was signed without the participation of the senate.

The two then took to Twitter where they traded barbs over the legality of the contentious Bill.
Duale fired the first salvo terming Murkomen as ‘hypocritical’ for challenging the assenting of the Bill by the President.
Never mind yesterday media was awash with pictures of Senator @kipmurkomen standing next to the President assenting to the same Bill which he is now challenging how it was processed by the @NAssemblyKE. This is pure hypocrisy and one which requires to be treated with contempt! pic.twitter.com/5aKfe3btxX
