Eastern Equatoria State Minister of Finance in a countermotion escapes appearance in parliament to account for Hotel Torit revenue.
MP Florence Nighty Otto moves a motion for summoning the finance minister, Radio Emmanuel reports.
MP Losike Allan Lachio approves the summon motion.
But, MP Samira Ayen Louis opposes the motion to save the Minister of Finance from accounting to parliament.
MP Arungole Rhino argues that the motion for summoning the finance minister without written notice was unconstitutional.
Acting state speaker, Joseph Columbus Lokodo rules that the motion for summoning the finance minister is not orderly.
He terminates the debate and adjourns the parliamentary sitting.
Hotel Torit belongs to Eastern Equatoria State Government.
Lawmakers demand transparency on the revenue generated from the hotel.
The call comes during the second reading of the state policy framework for wildlife, hotels and tourism ministry.
