The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen, has berated lawmakers over distractions during the plenary session.
In a video shared online by Cable, the speaker accused lawmakers of approaching him during plenary sessions, noting it often distracts him.
Abbas expressed displeasure over lawmakers’ inability to go through the proper communication channel.
He said, “It’s not good to be approaching the chair, it distracts me a lot. What happened was that the Clerk read a long title and because I was engaged in another conversation, I thought that it was supposed to go for secondment.
“That’s why I had to call her attention, so sorry my dear sister.
“Let us respect approach the acting Chief Whip before seeing the Speaker, it’s not good for us to be interrupting when plenary is going on.”
