President William Ruto on Tuesday had to apologise for breaking Parliament traditions. Cracking up the assembly, Ruto revealed that when Speaker Ntakirutimana was addressing the assembly he ended up clapping, which is against the Speaker's rule. President Ruto had been called upon by EALA Speaker Joseph Ntakirutimana to give his opening speech when he first issued an apology that caught the house unaware. The 63-member states assembly will hold its sittings – both whole house and committees – at the Parliament Buildings until March. “We have different reports and Bills that we will be considering in our sessions here in the country which mainly involve oversight of different partner states,” Ntakirutimana said.
