According to Mbadi, Koros was insisting on voting for an absent member despite being cautioned against the move by the clerks.

"When I told him to leave then the member charged at me and he actually bit my finger," Mbadi said.

He claimed the MP bit his fingers making to a bleeding mess. He had his right ring finger covered with a brown Elastoplast. 

The lawmakers were voting on amendment to clause Six by Kandara MP Alice Wahome.
