ODM wants parliament reopened
ODM Thursday asked President Kibaki to re-open Parliament next week so that MPs can address the key issue of growing insecurity in the country. Party secretary-general Anyang’ Nyong’o said the House was the best placed institution to deal with the issue, which was sparked by the disputed presidential elections. “Parliament is the only body that could speak on behalf of all Kenyans on the rising cases of insecurity,” Prof Nyong’o said.
The ODM official said President Kibaki should summon Parliament urgently because the situation on the ground is grave. But in case the President ignores their plea, Prof Nyong’o, who is the Kisumu Rural MP said, it would show that the Government was not concerned about the safety and lives of all Kenyans.
