MPs get date to debate the amendments Kibaki rejected

Thursday afternoon Parliament reopens debate on the Bill whose drastic amendments to Parties and Elections Acts President Kibaki returned to the House along with a memorandum on why he declined.

The country would be waiting with bated breath to see if MPs would marshal the two-thirds majority to veto the President’s memorandum, or if they will go for the softer option of accepting his proposals on a simple-majority vote.
