Eastern Equatoria State Legislative Assembly Speaker on Monday threw out a legislator.
Ambrose Emmanuel Ocholimoi ordered the sergeant at arms to throw out MP Charles Odwar, representing Lafon corridor, after emotional exchange of words between the speaker and the MP.Odwar resistance to leave the Assembly increased the verbal battle between him and the Speaker.
Once Mr. Odwar was out, the house remained silent as the rest of the MPs feared for the next person to be thrown out.
The disagreement came after Odwar inquired on the committee set up six months to investigate him following publication of his resignation letter on the internet.
Odwar was also accused of allegedly contacting members of neighbouring counties of another state with an intention of breaking out of Eastern Equatoria to form a third state.
Failure of the committee to table its finding to the Assembly prompted the MPs to raise the issue on a day as the Parliament had no agenda to deliberate on.
According to the speaker a matter that is before a committee and a court cannot be discussed in the Assembly until it is resolved by the relevant bodies.
