A virtual parliamentary committee meeting degenerated into a shouting match between an ODM legislator and an MP allied to Deputy President William Ruto. The melee started when the ODM lawmaker, an ardent supporter of the handshake, told a witness appearing before the panel that his days were numbered. The MP told the guest to start packing his belongings because the BBI referendum will pass. The witness, who leads a crucial commission, appeared shocked and dismayed by the sentiments. The argument went on for minutes before the chairman cooled things down.
