The coronavirus disease (Covid-19) that has already claimed 12 lives and infected more than 260 people is not a joke. Therefore, National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale and his Senate counterpart Kipchumba Murkomen should not be squabbling when the country needs true leadership. However, for Senate Majority Leader Murkomen to claim that Parliament is dead, is sinking to an unimaginable low. For his part, Mr Duale has hit back, declaring that Mr Murkomen cannot speak on behalf of the National Assembly. Against the backdrop of this feud is an effort to steer the country through the worst pandemic it has ever experienced in the five decades of independence.
