Minority Leader John Mbadi: " BBI should be passed the way it is, don't give us too much English here. "
Rarieda MP Otiende Amollo: "John Mbadi you've never stepped into any Law School your entire life, so let me teach you about Law."
Drama ensued in Parliament on Thursday during debate on the Constitution Amendment Bill, 2020, after MP Otiende Amollo (Rarieda) clashed with Minority Leader John Mbadi over constitutional Vs unconstitutional law debate.
MP Otiende, who was on the floor, distinctly contrasted with Mbadi’s views on whether a recommended constitutional amendment can be described as unconstitutional.
“John Mbadi you have not stepped in law school,” Otiende said provoking the Minority Leader.
Mbadi had on Wednesday claimed that an amendment cannot be unconstitutional primarily coming from a popular initiative.
“How can a proposed amendment to the Constitution be unconstitutional?” Mbadi posed during the debate on Wednesday.
On Thursday, Otiende who is the Vice-Chair of the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee floored Mbadi maintaining that an amendment can certainly be unconstitutional.
“As a matter of law, a constitutional amendment can be unconstitutional if it does not follow the process in the constitution before it is amended,” Otiende said.
