By Thursday, November 11, some senators led by Elgeyo Marakwet’s Kipchumba Murkomen had decried being left out of list of legislators that would follow the address directly in the National Assembly chambers.
He insinuated that, legislators with an inclination towards Uhuru’s and Opposition leader Raila Odinga’s spearheaded BBI agenda had been given undue preference.

A programme seen by TrendingLeo.co.ke shows that the session will be opened with a word of prayer for Senate Speaker Ken Lusaka.
After the prayers, a convocation will be conducted by the Senate Speaker followed by the National Assembly Speaker.
