Wednesday October 17, 2012 - The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) wants the Speaker of the National Assembly Kenneth Marende to punish Makadara MP Gideon Mbuvi alias Sonko for allegedly slapping Attorney General Prof Githu Muigai and other parliamentary staff.
The lawyers have written to Marende following an incident in which the AG and Mbuvi were involved in a confrontation in Parliament buildings where Sonko is alleged to have slapped the AG.
“This is to call upon you to take the necessary action by invoking the necessary powers bestowed on you by virtue of the Constitution, the National Assembly Act and Standing Orders to address this unfortunate episode,” says part of the letter from LSK.
“Members of Parliament are State Officers and Article 75 of the Constitution makes specific provisions regarding ‘conduct of State officers’ it provides that a State officer shall behave, whether in public and official life, in private life, or in association with other persons, in a manner that avoids demeaning the office the officer holds.” Part of the letter adds.
The Monday confrontation came after Prof Muigai wrote to the CID to investigate the Makadara MP for extortion of money over a piece of land valued at Sh360 million in Muthangari, Nairobi.
