Kenyan Lawmakers Engage In Fistfight Over Control Of Parliament, Attempt To Grab Mace
A vicious fight broke out in the Kenyan National Assembly on Thursday evening after Speaker Moses Wetangula ruled that the Kenya Kwanza Coalition has the majority number of MPs in the House. A Member of Parliament tried to grab the Mace to express displeasure at the ruling. At 5:20pm, the Serjeant-at-Arms were forced to throw a cordon around the Mace, which is the symbol of Parliamentary authority, the Standard reports. Speaker Wetangula had earlier ruled that the Kenya Kwanza Coalition has 179 MPs to take up the majority leadership in the National Assembly.
