Ugunja MP Opiyo Wandayi’s  office has been locked and his bodyguards withdrawn  following his protests in the National Assembly during President Uhuru Kenyatta’s State of the Nation address on Thursday.

As a result of this picketing, which Speaker Justin Muturi has ruled was against the Standing Orders, Wandayi’s parliamentary staff were also sent home.
