The MPs blocked Deputy Majority Leader Owen Baya from tabling reports as required by the Standing Orders.

Following this Mbita Memver of Parliament Millie Odhiambo petitioned Speaker Moses Wetangula to cede office to Deputy Speaker Gladys Boss citing the court ruling on bias.

Wetangula however declined saying there was not susbstantive motion and that the court did not order him to vacate.

He pointed out that the House has the final say on its proceedings promising final verdict on contest over Majority seats.
