Abbas Tajudeen, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, has warned lawmakers over the numerous distractions during plenary sessions.
Mr. Abbas allegedly claimed that the lawmakers were approaching him during sessions, which was clearly distracting him.
In a video that was posted online, Abbas stated that, “It is 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 is not good for us to be interrupting when plenary is going on.”
