The Senate on Thursday, May 9, was forced to suspend its sittings due to a power blackout.
This was announced by Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna who did not explain if the Parliamentarians would stream back to the House in the event the blackout ended during sitting hours.
"We have had to suspend sittings of the Senate because there is no power in Parliament," Sifuna revealed.
Immediately after the power went off, the Senators were forced to revert to their smartphone flashlights.
This did not work out as expected as legislators started shouting and poking fun at each other.
The blackout occurred at a time when select members of the National Assembly were also at Parliament Buildings debating the impeachment motion seeking to hound out Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mithika Linturi from office.
