Western Bahr El Ghazal State Assembly Speaker reacted to members’ announcement to deliberate vote of no confidence against him on Friday, warning that any decision to hold session before official opening is illegal.
Andrea Mayor Achor told Voice of Hope on Thursday in a phone interview that the meeting announced for his impeachment and appointment of new deputy would not be recognized as august house was not open officially.
The speaker accused State Governor Rizik Zachariah Hassan of having a hidden agenda.
MP Mario Nyibang said they would go ahead with the motion of impeaching the speaker and appoint new deputy, saying the code of conduct did not restrict sittings on recess.
The MP defended that lobbing for members’ signatures could be done anywhere not necessarily in the assembly.
