Only courts will resolve this stalemate

The perceived wrangles between the two Houses of Parliament emanating from their different perception on the processing of bills introduced in either House for determination have reached a crescendo.

From last week, the Senate has been waging a war of words against the National Assembly Speaker for allegedly overstepping his mandate by presenting bills to the President for assent that, in their opinion, touch on county governments, without consulting his Senate counterpart as provided for in the Constitution and as earlier guided by an advisory of the Supreme Court.
