Days later Mwaura changed his story and said Oduor kept the seal after all. The spokesman blamed confusion on a failed parliamentary bill from 2023. Lawmakers rejected the proposed law that would have...

Courts interfering during the process breaks government power rules. Mohamed worried this could happen again. He said committees become part of parliament when speakers assign them work.
Wetang'ula asked Chief Justice Martha Koome for a meeting between both groups. He wants...
