NAIROBI: The National Assembly will reconvene for a special session tomorrow to consider two issues that have had the nation on tenterhooks for the past week.

The House is expected to sit and deliberate on amendments to the controversial Security Laws (Amendment) Bill, and a report on the approval of Kajiado Central MP, Joseph Nkaissery as Interior Cabinet Secretary. A gazette notice signed by National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi confirmed the morning and afternoon sittings, which are likely to be heated due to the nature of business on the order paper.
