Outrageous MP performance continues

The controversial Media Bill was passed with only a dismaying 27 MPs in attendance, that’s even less than what’s required for quorum so we wonder how that is legal.

In other news, MP Njoki Ndungu uses that “it wasn’t me” defense to support the highway robbery that is sendoff package. She claims that the proposal wasn’t really the MPs’ idea but that of the Cockar tribunal. We ask, so what? Did the government have to accept it in light of their already outrageous salaries and the endless list of ways in which the taxpayers money could be better spent.
