SEE WHY SUPREME COURT JUDGES BOYCOTTED UHURU’S PARLIAMENTARY ADDRESS

“We as members of NASA, and myself for that matter, find it politically untenable to sit in Parliament and listen to a person against whom my party leader is competing,” stated the minority leader Opiyo Wandayi.

This comes after the Supreme Court invalidated Uhuru Kenyatta’s win in the August election and ordered for fresh polls following the petition filed by NASA leader Raila Odinga.

The Constitution stipulates that the President should address each newly-elected Parliament within 30 days after swearing in of the MPs as provided for in the House Standing Orders.

Members of the clergy including Anglican Archbishop Jackson Ole Sapit were present, and they began the session with a word of prayer.

Also present at the meeting were some diplomats, independent MPs and cabinet secretaries including Najib Balala (Tourism), Eugine Wamalwa (Water), Fred Matiang’i (Education) Mwangi Kiunjuri (Devolution) and several other public service heads.
