National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula has come to in defense of MPs saying they have exhibited maturity in performing their legislative roles devoid of infighting.
Wetang'ula noted that gone are the days when MPs engaged in physical confrontations while executing the sensitive business of the House.
"Kenyans are no longer treated to drama where MPs battle after a disagreement on matters that appear before them in the House," the Speaker said.
"The current Parliament has a crop of wonderful MPs. They legislate as nationalists when matters of national importance appear before them."
The Speaker made the remarks at St Joseph Catholic Cathedral, Ngong, in Kajiado North constituency when he presided over a funds drive towards funding the church's development programmes.
He was accompanied by MPs Onesmus Ngogoyo (Kajiado North), Leah Sankaire (Kajiado County MP), Lydia Haika (Taita Taveta Woman Rep), Samuel Parashina (Kajiado South), George Sunkuiya (Kajiado West) and Bisau Kakai (Kiminini).
Kajiado County Deputy Governor Martin Moshisho, Speaker Kajiado County Assembly Justus Ngussur, PSs Dr Juma Mukhwana and Ephantus Kimothi were also present.
Wetang'ula urged Azimio MPs from the County to support President William Ruto's agenda.
"Time for politics went with the last general elections. I urge leaders to rally behind President Ruto's agenda so that the country can recover from the economic woes," he added.
The Speaker said it was time for leaders to serve wananchi.
Parashina said the county was the face of Kenya adding that various communities live in harmony in the area.
"Leaders in the county are working together to foster unity and peace among communities living here," he added.
The MPs led by Kakai supported Azimio leader Hon Raila Odinga's bid for the AU Commission chairmanship.
The Speaker noted that he was happy that despite MPs subscribing to different political affiliations they have not allowed their differences to soil the integrity of the House.
In December 2021, a brawl erupted in Parliament as lawmakers were debating a controversial bill governing political parties ahead of the 2022 polls.
The then Speaker, Justin Muturi, suspended the session briefly after the chaotic scenes, which saw at least two rival MPs exchange blows.
The fighting broke out after hours of heated debate over the Bill, which contained amendments to laws governing political parties and the registration of coalition groupings for elections.
