Business was temporarily disrupted in the national assembly today morning after Kwale Women Representative Zulekha Hassan decided to walk in the chamber with her baby.

Temporary House Deputy Speaker Christopher Omulele had a hectic time controlling MPs in the House as some of the  Mps led by the majority leader Aden Duale criticisng the move by Zulekha.

The House was debating the Kenya-Somalia Maritime Border Dispute Resolution before Zulekha walked in with her baby. Majority Leader Aden Duale was forced to cut his submission, saying Zulekha was out of order.

“That member must be cited for gross misconduct. We must protect the dignity of the House,” said Duale

Omulele  ordered Zulekha out  advising MPs to use facilities the Parliamentary Service Commission had provided for lactating mothers.

Homa Bay town MP Peter Kaluma was among those who defended Zulekha's action  saying that she should not be separated with her new born baby.

Kaluma charged “If you are a Member of Parliament who is breastfeeding, in the best interest of that child, the child cannot be separated from you when you are in the course of your duty in the Assembly,” .

Women Mps walked out of the chamber in solidarity with their colleague threatening to also come with their children if a nursery is not set up in the parliament.
