Parliament sitting rescheduled amid Nehawu chaos
Police have lined the streets outside parliament and are manning locked gates to prevent striking workers from entering the legislature.
Members of Nehawu resumed their strike this week after talks with parliamentary presiding officers over bonus payments deadlocked.
Singing workers gathered outside the gates while the National Assembly sitting that was supposed to be held yesterday has resumed.
Parliament will sit for an extra two days to get through the final business of the year that it was unable to attend to because of disruptions by striking workers.
Nehawu remains adamant that parliament agreed to pay bonuses based on total annual packages but parliament is equally adamant that this was not the case - bonuses are calculated on monthly packages.
