NASS: Protesting workers bar senators, Reps from sitting

The protesting workers of the National Assembly have barred senators and members of the House of Representatives from sitting at plenary.

The protesters, who besieged the entrances to the two chambers in their hundreds, have turned back every lawmaker that turned up for plenary.

While senators were expected to commence their plenary at about 10:30.am, Reps were to start theirs at 11.am.

However, up to about 12:40.pm, no lawmaker was able to have access to the National Assembly lobby let alone either of the chambers.

The protesters said until they got alerts for their various allowances and salary arrears being owed, the lawmakers would not sit through out this week.
