Kitutu Masaba MP Timothy Bosire insists that the opposition will have no choice other than going to streets should the Senate fail to trash controversial election law amendments.
The National Assembly passed the controversial amendment that would see electoral body use an alternative voting and transmission method should electronic voting and transmission fail.
Bosire said the law was hurriedly passed in parliament without adhering with the constitutional requirements adding that the Senate had the opportunity to show leadership.
“Mass protests are constitutionally accepted and the police should be ready to give security for those who will be joining us. We do not expect the police to provoke calm people,” he said.
“That is the only way as the opposition; we will have someone listening to us. The Senate of course has the opportunity to show leadership and my wish is that they refer the controversial amendments to the Joint Senate-National assembly committee,” he told reporters on Tuesday.
The Senate will convene on Wednesday for a special sitting after chaotic incidents that marred National Assembly a week ago during the debate on the proposed amendments.
