The National Assembly, the institution that plunged the country into the current crisis through its passing of the unpopular Finance Bill 2024, has yet another anti-people business before it.

When it reconvenes early next week, the list of business before it includes debating The Assembly and Demonstrations Bill, 2024 - a private member's motion sponsored by Mbeere North MP Geoffrey Ruku.
