NAURU IN CONFUSION MODE

Nauru Parliament resumed this morning at 10:00am and the house was quickly adjourned after the address of the Speaker Hon. Godfrey Thoma for not having a quorum. Thus, the country is now in a worst position than ever. All the members of the Government party then turned up for the meeting leaving parliament in a position of more than just a deadlock.

However, according to the Government, since the former Speaker of Parliament the Hon. Ludwig Scotty has read the dissolution notice delivered by His Excellency President Sprent Dabwido, the seven days process for the members of parliament to constest the motion has expired, as it is clearly stated under the Constitution of Nauru in Article 41 (4) which states:

“The Speaker has, under clause (2.) of this Article, referred the advice of the President to Parliament, and no resolution for the removal from office of the President and Ministers under Article 24 is approved after the date on which the advice was so referred, he shall dissolve Parliament on the seventh day after that date.”

Today, parliament is known to be legally dissolved as the seven days has expired. But unfortunately, the Speaker Hon. Godfrey Thoma along with his party the opposition are not willing to accept the dissolution. Despite their promises of having to dissolve parliament appropriately, they have breached the Supreme Law and should be arrested immediately.

Nauru politicians are at the verge of breaking every law on the country to allow their dirty ambitions to take place. The Nauruan’s wants an election since both the Government and Parliament are not functioning as they both should be, but it seems that the opposition party are very adamant to delaying the process moreover.

Thus, all the drama has not helped the Nauruan’s to understand more of the process, but as only being made confused by the interview made by Mr Keke, in which he claimed that they have not been given the chance to contest the president’s dissolution notice.

In fact, they have been given the opportunity yesterday Thursday 25, April 2013 to contest the motion after the appointment of the new Speaker Mr. Thoma, who is a member of their party, but they decide to adjourned the house to prolong parliament and ensure that their political ambitions are achieved, thus the one day extension has cost them more than they expect.

All eyes on Nauru are now on the President His Excellency Sprent Dabwido to deliver his big right to wrap up everything to put the nation back into it normal state of sound mind.
