In an explosive twist that has shaken the political scene, East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) MP Falhada Iman has been slapped with a 90-day ban from setting foot on Parliament grounds after engaging in a shocking physical confrontation with ODM-nominated MP Umulkher Harun Mohamed on April 8.
Footage of the wild altercation—which captured the two legislators grappling on the floor in a stunning display of chaos—has gone viral, sparking outrage across the nation. Parliamentary order was thrown into disarray as stunned lawmakers and security staff scrambled to break up the melee.
National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula has now issued a stern directive: Falhada must submit a formal apology to the House and the Parliamentary Service Commission by 5 p.m. on April 14—or face further consequences. On the day of her apology, she will only be allowed into Parliament under the escort of the Sergeant-at-Arms.

“After carefully reviewing disturbing video evidence and the official report, it’s clear that this disgraceful incident tarnished the dignity and reputation of Parliament,” said Wetang’ula. “Both lawmakers brought shame to this House.”
Despite no longer being an active Kenyan MP, Falhada still enjoys privileges extended to former legislators—such as access to the lounge, gym, and Parliament’s catering services. But now, all that is temporarily off-limits.
Wetang’ula confirmed that several MPs had demanded swift action, urging him to invoke the Parliamentary Powers and Privileges Act. He hinted that further disciplinary measures may be taken depending on the official statements submitted by both parties.
The clash, which has been condemned as disgraceful and unbecoming of public leaders, has stirred public debate, with many Kenyans calling for stricter conduct standards in Parliament.
This is not just a political scandal—this is a wake-up call for integrity within Kenya’s top legislative institutions.
