National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula has identified Tigania East MP Mpuru Aburi as the legislator who recorded a viral video capturing an altercation between nominated MPs Umulkher Harun Mohamed and her UDA counterpart at the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA), Falhada Iman.
The revelation came more than a month after the dramatic incident where the two MPs were embroiled in a scuffle, where they wrestled each other to the ground within Parliament precincts in an incident which led to national outrage.
During National Assembly proceedings on Wednesday, the speaker revealed that a combination of witness accounts and his own investigations pointed to the Tigania East MP as the person responsible for taking the video. "Witness accounts have identified Tigania East MP Mpuru Aburi as the member believed to have made and circulated the video.
I personally spoke to the MP, and he claimed that he recorded the video for fun and shared it with a female member, who circulated the video accordingly." Tigania East Member of Parliament Mpuru Aburi Photo Mpuru Aburi Wetang'ula emphasised the seriousness of such an act, noting that senior members of the House had a greater responsibility to uphold the dignity of Parliament.
