NAIROBI: Opposition and Jubilee members of the county assembly were Wednesday engaged in a war of words with each side accusing the other of plagiarising the controversial Plastics and Paper Bags Bill of 2016.

Members affiliated to the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) were rooting for the withdrawal of the bill that had been tabled by Umoja One ward representative George Maina, claiming he had sneaked it in despite being authored by their counterpart, Kayole South rep Elizabeth Manyala.
