After a long
political saga, His Excellency President Sprent Dabwido has finally delivered a
letter to the Speaker of Parliament the Hon. Ludwig Scotty to dissolve
parliament. The Speaker after reading His Excellency’s letter expressed his
deepest disappointment reflecting on the honourable member’s behaviour at the
last parliament sitting.
Speaker of Parliament Hon. Ludwig Scotty M.P
Where the
govern laws of parliament are deliberately breached by an act of misconduct of
the Minister for Transport the Hon. Riddell Akua, by interrupting members adjournment
debate and using offensive gestures towards members of the opposition party.
Despite
the Speaker’s 30 years of service in the Nauru Parliament, he said this is the
first time he had to walk out of his seat while parliament is in its
proceedings. Before parliament adjourned, the Speaker shared to the honourable members
about something that he had learned from the founding fathers of Nauru
including the first President of Nauru the late Sir. Hammer DeRoburt.
He
said, once a person asked His Excellency DeRoburt why did members of parliament
are called honourable. President DeRoburt said, because they are few amongst
the many, who are been given the honour to represent the many needs of the
people in their constituency.
After
few words from the Speaker, Parliament adjourned.
