Members of the press were not allowed into the House to cover the event.
The controversial Security Bill was passed Thursday amid acrimony in parliament that saw the legislators and Senators allied to CORD join hands in opposing the new laws.
The Security Laws (Amendment) Bill 2014, faced strong opposition in the parliament as the chairman of the departmental committee on administration and national security Asman Kamama tried to move the amendments made in the Bill during the third reading.
The morning session, just like the afternoon one degenerated into chaos, forcing the House speaker Justin Muturi to adjourn the session twice and rescheduling the order paper.
In the afternoon, Mr Muturi changed the programme in the order paper to allow the parliament to debate the nomination of Joseph Nkaissery as the cabinet secretary for Interior and National Coordination, with all members putting aside their differences to endorse the presidential nominee.
Members of the press were not allowed into the House to cover the event with only national broadcaster KBC being allowed in. Budalangi legislator Ababu Namwamba accused the government of sponsoring laws that are detrimental to Kenyans, noting that such a move will be resisted by all means.
He also condemned the move by the parliament officials to discontinue the live streaming of the parliamentary proceedings. “KBC is paid for by the taxpayers money and it was not in order for it to be stopped from airing the session,” he said.
