“Members, the matter of the Finance Bill are now over, we wait for the committee of the whole, those who have amendments to file, clerk and his team will process those amendments,” Speaker Wetangu’la said.
The Speaker’s declaration triggered fresh activity outside as protesters opposed to the Bill started pelting vehicles parked inside Parliament precincts with stones.
The parking lot adjacent to the Expressway is reserved for parliamentary staff and other junior employees.
This prompted MPs who had parked within Parliament precincts on Parliament Roadside and County Hall to move their vehicles to basement parking in a huff.
