Only Webuye East MP Alfred Sambu (Amani National Congress) and Hamisi MP Charles Gimose (Ford Kenya) attended Uhuru’s address. NASA co-principal Moses Wetang’ula had on Monday said that Opposition MPs would not attend opening of the Parliament. "The President does not have power to convene or schedule the opening of the newly-elected parliament. "Nasa members will, therefore, not attend the purported opening of Parliament on Tuesday as directed by the Speakers of both Houses,” he added.
