An attempt to censure National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi flopped on Tuesday evening but offered MPs three hours of self-examination and reflection on their performance over the past two years.
As the debate on the highly anticipated motion by Kibwezi West MP Patrick Musimba progressed and it became evident there wasn't much support for it, most of the MPs who had almost filled the chambers at 2.30pm had left.
Mr Muturi became the second Speaker since 2005 to face a censure motion and the first since 1996 to have it discussed to conclusion, albeit unsuccessfully.
SUPPORTED IT
Ultimately, Dr Musimba, Nicolas Gumbo (Rarieda, ODM), Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM), John Mbadi (Suba, ODM) and Silverse Anami (Shinyalu, ODM) supported it.
The rest of the MPs either opposed it - with some singing the Speaker's praises - or used the opportunity to ask for a turnaround in the way MPs behave and a departure from the scandalous behaviour the legislators have become infamous for.
