“I have parked my car this side, you cannot stop me from using this door,” the outspoken Legislator was heard telling a security officer who tried to force her to use a different door.

After making his way out of the building, Millie spoke of her displeasure with the way Jubilee government was running the government accusing President Kenyatta of intimidating the opposition.

“Jubilee has resorted to govern the country  in a manner that has deprived Kenyans of their human rights. The harassment of Governor Joho is a clear indication of how the government is trying to intimidate the Opposition into submission,” the evidently irked legislator said.

In his pronouncement, Kajwanga said that being a temporary Speaker, he knows the Standing Orders adding that his decision to carry placards is a sign that he was exasperated by Jubilee’s style of leadership.

“Uhuru has reached an intolerable level. The Constitution is supreme and the President should not act in a manner that defies it,” claimed Kajwang.

Mbadi, in his brief, accused President Kenyatta of laxity in securing the country saying the recent invasion of Ugandan soldiers into Migingo Island should not be tolerated.

“We will not listen to PR any more. Kenyans are tired and they want action. Migingo has been invaded by Ugandan police and yet the president is talking about security,” said Mbadi.
