The National Legislative Assembly speaker on Tuesday issued a decree relieving all parliamentary committees’ chairpersons and their deputies.
Manasseh Magok Rundial’s decree still runs on parliamentary screen notice board on Wednesday stipulating new appointments without disclosing the list.
Legislators sat in the lobby chamber without any parliamentary session in the main hall.
Media reports on Wednesday indicated that MPs protested against the new appointments, shouting that the speaker’s selection criterion was inappropriate and without reflecting regional balance.
MPs suggested that SPLM caucus should sit first to decide on the appointment of new chairpersons and deputies before the Augus House approves it.
