Kenyan senators banded together, on Thursday, and held a protest march against 20 laws passed at the National Assembly.
A procession of the senators was pictured as they marched to the Milimani Law courts to file their petition.
The Speaker of the Senate, Kenneth Lusaka, had earlier on signed affidavits to the petition by the Senate, that is set to be filed in the High Court of Kenya.
They are opposed to 20 legislations which they claimed to have been passed without their input, as is required by law.
Nandi Senator and Senate Justice and Legal Affairs Committee Chairman, Samson Cherargei, led the procession of senators.
He mentioned three key issues while speaking on KTN News, all of which revolved around clarification of passing of laws in the National Assembly.
"Any bill passed by the national assembly without the concurrence of the senate is to be declared null and void,
Secondly, regarding the 3 bills now in discussion at the National Assembly that have implications on devolution, we are requesting for the cessation of that debate, until concurrence is followed, as provided for under Article 110 of the constitution," the Nandi Senator asserted.
He then went on to claim that their latest move was in no way aimed at establishing which of the two houses outranked the other, nor some ploy to establish dominance.
"We are not interested in supremacy wars, nor are we interested in which is the Lower House or half house," he remarked.
Some of the Bills in contention include; The Public Trustee (Amendment) Act, Building Surveyors Act, 2018, Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act.
