The term of the first House of Senate under the 2010 constitution came to an end yesterday.
This came with the Senate leadership still accusing the National Assembly of frustrating their agenda of making legislations for the country.
Led by Senate Speaker Ekwee Ethuro on Wednesday, the senators accused the National Assembly of failing to consider the bulk of Bills passed by the Senate.At the centre of contention were 30 Bills the senators passed but which were not approved by the National Assembly, meaning they died."The National Assembly must be singularly held responsible. While we ensured Bills coming to our House from them were prioritised, they appeared determined to ensure the proposed laws from our House were not considered. Now, we have 30 Bills, good pieces of legislation that will just die due to this gesture," said Ethuro.
