“The Senate in a closed session deliberated issues bordering the workings of the Senate in particular and the National Assembly in general.”
They would go on to commence business for the day when the Senate Minority Leader, Philip Aduda, raised a Point of Order, reminding the Senate of its resolutions taken after the closed-door session.
Mr Aduda said the Senate was meant to address the issue of insecurity in the country and the efforts made so far to curtail the menace.
He also reminded his colleagues that they were meant to “give the president an ultimatum to resolve the issues of insecurity in the country and give an impeachment notice if the demands are not met.”
