This report was filed by Mzalendo reader - Paul Rojo.
ALL the major Presidential candidates for the 2007 general elections were notably absent and those who were in today's session left immediately the discussion on the budgetary vote of the Ministry of Energy began.
Only Najib Balala and William Ruto were in the house earlier but left even before the completion of the question time that had seven questions lined up for debate.
Kalonzo Musyoka is still mourning the loss of his mother, though we could not immediately establish why the rest were absent.
The energy financial estimates will enable the completion of over 90 Rural Electrification projects earmarked for completion by the end of June next year. The ministry was seeking approval of the house to spend shs 8 billion, out of which Shs.2b would go towards Rural Electrification.
Only 14 legislators on both sides of the house were present at the conclusion of business on the first day since Parliament broke for its recess.
However, at least 60 of them actively participated in debate on the energy financial estimates.
