Senator Abaribe at the Senate plenary, denied newspaper reports noting that such issues never occurred during the closed-door session held by the upper chamber on Tuesday.
Abaribe who is also the Chairman of the South East Senators Forum says the reports are aimed at creating division between southeast and northern senators.
