        Not just opposition MPs, no legislator in their right senses attended. Those who present were from the president's tribe!

        It was a farce. What if the competitor wins the repeat polls? Won't he have to reconvene the parliament?

        They boycotted because Kenya doesn't have a president yet,Kenyatta's mandate ended on 8th of August,so it was an illegal sitting.
