The incident happened when Azimio MPs protested the failure of Speaker Wetang'ula Moses to ratify the removal of Chege from office.

The ruling led to chaos characterised by MPs menacing each other and ignoring calls for order.

However, Wetang'ula retained her as the whip citing a court order which suspended the minority Azimio's decision to axe her from the post.

She has recently condemned the acts of violence, destruction, and looting in the ongoing protests called by Azimio La Umoja.

In a statement, she termed deplorable acts of lawlessness as opposition supporters across the country held demonstrations to express dissatisfaction with some of the government's policies particularly on tax and cost of living.

"These demonstrations have caused economic sabotage which includes closure of businesses, halt in transport operations which are key economic drivers," Chege said.
