Parliament resumes

Parliament resumes on Tuesday to an explosive agenda key among them a bill seeking to establish a local mechanism to deal with perpetrators of the post poll violence.

The Appropriation bill will also make a comeback now that the storm over Former Kenya Anti Corruption Commission KACC boss Aaron Ringera has settled.

The government will be keen to have the appropriation bill passed to approve the second quarter budgetary allocations to ministries.

The bill was deferred severally in the last session as MPs threatened to shoot in down unless Ringera resigned.

All eyes are on the house as focus shifts to Imenti Central Member of Parliament, Gitobu Imanyara's bill that seeks to set up a local mechanism to prosecute the perpetrators of post election violence.

In his bill, Imanyara wants none of the government officials immune from prosecution, a factor that undermined previous attempts to pass the bill.

Despite its outcome this time round, ICC Chief Prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo commences his investigations in the country next month.

Parliament is also expected to debate the draft constitution which is expected to be ready by December before it is subjected to a referendum between February and April next year.

A stormy session is expected with contention still strong as to whether or not the PM should have executive powers.

The house will also debate the report on police reforms, handed to the president, that contains a raft of recommendations among them to have the name of the force changed from Kenya Police Force to Kenya Police Service to give it a people-friendly image.
