The supremacy battles between the Members of the National Assembly and Those from senate is just getting loud and messy.
The dire need to be the ones calling shots has made the members from both houses to constantly brush shoulders.
President Uhuru Kenyatta has been dragged more than once into this matter, for overstepping on the Senate’s mandate.
The legislators have always cited duplication of roles which “ends up being costly to the taxpayers.”
They have always argued there is a need for a review of the law distinguishing the roles of the two Houses.
Mbadi, during the National Assembly Leadership Summit in Mombasa, warned that the situation, as it is today, risks defeating the House’s oversight role.
“We need to be clear on the responsibility of the committees of both Houses,” he said during the National Assembly Leadership Summit in Mombasa.
Kipchumba Murkomen who is the senate majority leader has always defended the senate. Few months ago, he engaged with Aden Duale in a bitter exchange over the same.
However Bungoma Senator Moses Masika Wetangula has called for ceasefire on the loud and messy quarrels.
Wetangula has stated that the battle for power is destructing the National Development. The controversial lawmaker has claimed that both legislators have defined roles which they strive to achieve.
