“I received a notification from them stating that they will be addressing the case within the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), which is also considering it. They are scheduled to convene from the 23rd to the 27th of this month. The notification specifically mentioned that they will assess the same case concerning the violation of human rights. Simultaneously, the case remains pending in the East African Court. My current priority is to secure the necessary funds to gather and proceed with scheduling the hearing with my lawyer.” Nhomngek added. 

Hon. Nhomngek, hails from the SPLM-IO party, he explained that they are carefully monitoring the situation so as to prevent future Assembly speakers from repetiting the same mistake. 

“In the previous instance, the speaker did not bring the suspension for approval by the house. To avoid a recurrence of such a situation in the future, it’s crucial to understand that the ultimate authority to suspend members of parliament rests with the entire house, not solely with the speaker.” Nhomngek said.
