The first day for MPs back from recess yesterday was marked by chaos and impunity as lawmakers tussled over the high court ruling that annulled an earlier verdict declaring the ruling Kenya Kwanza coalition as the majority. 

Some MPs demanded to have National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula vacate his office while others sought to interpret the ruling.

The issue of which alliance between Kenya Kwanza and Azimio Coalition would henceforth be recognized as the majority or minority took centre stage even as a section of the Azimio leaders called for Wetangula's resignation.
