Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria has referred to a section of his fellow lawmakers as livestock during the National Assembly sitting session on Thursday, May 13, 2021.
The Gatundu South lawmaker had stood before the parliament to clarify his earlier claims that the lawmakers were bribed KSh 100,000 to pass the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) Bill.
While making his remarks, the Tanga Tanga allied MP lost his decorum and referred to a section of legislators who were disrupting his speech as livestock.
“Mr Speaker, protect me from livestock, oh sorry I usually hear some members calling themselves cows,” Kuria said.
However, Speaker Justin Muturi interrupted Kuria insisting that there were no livestock in the chamber and compelled him to withdraw his statement and apologise.
Kuria also displayed bundles of money that he alleged to have been given to endorse the constitutional amendment BBI report.
During the same sitting, Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro was
suspended for four days following his unsavoury remarks he made against his
colleagues.
This was after the Majority Leader John Mbadi successfully moved a motion to suspend Nyoro from the precinct of the parliament for calling lawmakers sellouts, conmen, cowards, and traitors.
Nyoro made the remarks after he voted against the
BBI bill on Thursday, May 6, when the parliament reconvened for the second and
third reading of the bill.
Nyoro refused to apologise maintaining there were those
who voted through the conscience and voted through their “stomachs”
and the last lot that was intimidated.
To the annoyance of the House, the youthful lawmaker
again said the pro-BBI legislators were not only cowards and sellouts but also
traitors and betrayers.
