Nine members of parliament including
the Hon. Marcus Stephen, the Hon. Keiren Keke, and former member of the
opposition party the Hon. Godfrey Thoma petitioned the Speaker of Parliament
the Hon. Ludwig Scotty to call for an urgent parliament meeting, but the Speaker decline
to entertain their request for reason again unknown.
Nauru Parliament House
His Excellency President Sprent Dabwido
has not spoken to media about the issue and also hasn’t made any prior
appointment for an interview regarding the issue that resulted in the
termination of the Minister for CIE the Honourable Marcus Stephen and the resignation of the Minister for Health and Foreign Affairs and Trade the Honourable Keiren Keke.
Parliament Chamber
Some of the possible reason why the
Speaker of Parliament would not entertain the nine members request must be due
to the non-professionalism of one of the nine members during the last sitting
where the Speaker of Parliament stood up and walked out of parliament during
its proceeding.
Speaker's chair
All the happening during that
particular parliament sitting was a shock for many who watched the parliament
live. First the members of the Cabinet voted against their own president, while
the opposition party vote along with the president. Secondly, the Minister for
Transport using gestures at other members of parliament at their adjournment
debate and last and not least, the Speaker of Parliament walked out of
Parliament.
Further update will be posted for viewers information...
