National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale has said that he will head to the Supreme Court in a bid to end the supremacy war between Parliament and the Senate.
According to lwamakers supporting the move, it had become necessary to get an advisory opinion on the mandate of each House so as to draw the line.
“Time has come for the National Assembly to return to Supreme Court. There is confusion in the legislative work and this line ought to be drawn so that the Senate knows its work,” Duale said.
Members of Parliament also demanded an immediate meeting between Senate Speaker Ken Lusaka and his NationalAssembly counterpart Justin Muturi to resolve constant squabbles over who should undertake specific legislative roles.
Since the 2013 General Election which was the first to be conducted under the 2010 constitution, members of the NationalAssembly and the Senate have clashed several times over which House is superior, with both sides accusing the other of encroaching on their mandate.
