NAURU POLITICAL CRISIS AT IT PEAK!!!

Today parliament resumed and all members attend. The session begin with the Speaker of Parliament the Hon. Ludwig Scotty reading the official appointment of the new Clerk of Parliament Mrs. Anne-marie, following the reading of His Excellency’s letters addressed to the Speaker on the 15th of April 2013.

In the letters, the Speaker read the President’s decision to dissolve parliament in a very short sentence. Note exact wording will be published soon!

However, the Speaker of Parliament adjourned the house for 15 minutes and resigned from the chair. Thus, the Deputy Speaker of Parliament the Hon. Landon Deireragea a member of the opposition party didn’t want to reconvene parliament, but allowing it hang.

Hence, while the entire pressure is on in Parliament, the Parliamentary Counsel Dr. Katy Leroy is playing the role as the advisor for the opposition party, in which her partner the Hon. Roland Kun is a member.

Besides all that is happen, Clerk of Parliament Mrs. Anne-marie Thoma had a crack from the Deputy Speaker of Parliament the Hon. Landon Deireragea for ringing the bell. The Deputy Speaker Mr. Deireragea walked into parliament very angry and turned off the bell and called the Clerk of Parliament upstairs to verbally abuse her.

His Excellency President Sprent Dabwido went after the Deputy Speaker and the Clerk as they went directly to where the opposition party were gathering, and unfortunately, the Hon. Keiren Keke rose up and challenged the President into a dual.

However, more update will be posted as the whole situation develops. FYI, parliament left hanging by the Deputy Speaker Hon. Landon Deireragea.
