KENYA: The near fist-fight between Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero and Senator Mike Sonko during a Senate committee meeting is disrespectful of the institution of Parliament. The august House is called so because of the respect, decorum and sober debate it should promote. Voters send their representatives to Parliament to make laws, articulate their views and grievances, and protect their interests. They expect the honourable members to debate soberly and conduct themselves with dignity and decorum.
The shouting match between the Governor and the Senator during an audit of the county government’s use of resources clouded the issues at hand, negating the reason for the meeting. It brought utter shame and disrespect to Parliament and legislators.
