Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has now claimed that he hid MP David Sankok's crutches to stop legislators allied to Tangatanga from using them to unleash violence during the debate.
According to the legislator, the debate was tense and a section of legislators was arguing with emotions.
"Tangatanga MPs were debating with emotions.They could have used Hon. Sankok crutches as a weapon to unleash violence on us, I saw it prudent to hide them until they cool down," Owino stated.
Mr. Owino was under fire from a section of MPs following his move to hide the crutches during the debate.

Nominated Senator Isaac Mwaura condemned the act by Mr. Owino.
"I wish to strongly condemn Babu Owino for humiliating our brother Hon David Ole Sankok by taking his crutches from him yesterday in Parliament during the heated debate on the political parties amendment bill alleging that he 'didn't need his legs' while in parliament," Mwaura stated.
He added, "In 2016 when he attempted to run for the Westlands Parliamentary seat, he again attacked Hon Tim Wanyonyi claiming that he uses a wheelchair that acts as both a 'toilet' and 'refrigerator'!! He has also taken issue with me and other legislators as well on account of appearance to settle political scores."
