National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula has banned EALA MP Falhada Dekow from accessing Parliament Buildings for 90 days.
According to the Speaker, the decision was taken after the EALA MP was captured fighting with ODM-nominated MP Umulkher Harun Mohamed.
The Speaker moreover directed the EALA MP to write a letter explaining the fight and also issue a public apology.

The apology is expected to be tendered to the Speaker’s office in writing by 5 pm on Monday, April 14 2025.
“Having reviewed the video and the incident report, it is clear that the violent altercation casts Parliament in bad light, and is likely to reflect adversely on the dignity or integrity of Parliament and, indeed, the sanctity of the precincts of Parliament. In the meantime, Hon. Falhada is forthwith precluded from accessing the precincts of Parliament and facilities for a period of 90 days, save on the day and time when she’ll deliver her written explanation to the Speaker.”
For nominated MP Umulkher, Wetang’ula announced that she would be required to apologise to MPs over the fight.
He also noted that sanctions would be issued on the MP who recorded the video.
Two Members of parliament engaged in a heated argument that led them into a physical confrontation.
During the confrontation, some voices in the background appeared to be cheering them on, encouraging them to continue with the fight.
After a while, the Sergeant-at-Arms intervened and tried to separate the two when the leaders attempted to assist in calming the lawmakers, who now started exchanging insults, allowing their emotions to pass them.
