Kenya: Brawl Breaks Out In Parliament Over Political Parties Bill

Kenya’s Parliament went into a brawl on Wednesday as lawmakers were debating a controversial bill governing political parties ahead of next year’s election.

Speaker, Ekwee David Ethuro suspended the session briefly after the chaotic scenes, which saw at least two rival MPs exchange blows, according to images broadcast on local media.

Lawmaker, Bernard Koros, a supporter of Deputy President William Ruto, was injured during the fracas, and was seen with blood dripping down his face, while another was expelled from parliament by the speaker.

“I cannot accept to be injured in the national house like this Mr Speaker,” said Koros.

The fighting broke out after hours of heated debate over the bill, which contains amendments to laws governing political parties and the registration of coalition groupings for elections.

The new bill would allow a coalition of parties to field a candidate in the poll, a departure from the current law that requires a candidate to belong to a party or be independent to vie for a seat.

Challengers of the legislation argue that President Uhuru Kenyatta and his erstwhile foe, Raila Odinga will use them to build a formidable coalition ahead of the August 9 vote.

While Odinga is ostensibly opposition leader, he and Kenyatta declared a truce with a headline-grabbing handshake in 2018 after deadly post-election clashes the year before.

The pact stoked speculation that Odinga, a veteran politician who has made four unsuccessful bids for the Presidency, would succeed Kenyatta.

Both had sought to expand the Executive through proposed constitutional changes that could have allowed Kenyatta — who is in his second term and cannot run for the presidency again — to stay in power as a Prime Minister.

Kenya’s top court ruled against those amendments in August but the alliance has endured, with Odinga often attending official Government functions with Kenyatta.

However, the truce has left Ruto, whom Kenyatta had initially anointed as his 2022 successor, out in the cold and he is expected to run against Odinga in the August poll.
