BY THOMAS KARIUKI.

The Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (Cord) wants a decision made by the Speaker of the National Assembly calling for two special sittings overturned.

According to the Cord coalition, the speaker went against the House standing orders in calling for the special sittings.

The sittings are scheduled for today.

Cord also says that the special gazette notice was published outside the set timelines of the government working hours.

According to cord lawyers, Apollo Mboya and Norman Magaya Amugira the amendments sought to be introduced for discussion in the special sitting do not warrant for special motion.

“The amendments sought to be introduced and passed are not in the nature of urgent and exceptional business requiring special sitting,” they hold.

Justice Odunga to deliver the ruling at 11.
