Speaker Moses Wetangula has directed the Members of the National Assembly to wear sombre clothes for a special sitting on Thursday, October 16, set aside to mourn Raila Odinga.
The announcement was made moments before the House observed a minute of silence during its Wednesday afternoon session.
According to Wetang’ula, the National Assembly will sit from 10am to 12am on Thursday to give room for the lawmakers to eulogise the departed ODM leader, during which they will be expected to dress somberly.
“I also advise that tomorrow, for many if not all of you, it will be the only opportunity to eulogise the Prime Minister. It is advised from yours truly that you come in a sombre state, in sombre attire, meaning I advise that we dress in black,” the Speaker stated.
“The good ladies should provide ribbons for everyone so that we demonstrate our respect and appreciation for our fallen heroic leader”, he added.
