Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Nominated Member Majanko Samusa sent out of parliament for ‘abusing rules’ The Speaker of the National Assembly yesterday sent nominated member Majanko Samusa out of the chamber for abuse of Assembly rules and use of words considered non-parliamentary.<\/p>\n

Samusa was asked to leave the chambers following exchanges with Speaker Mariam Jack Denton as legislators were debating a statement by Central Baddibu representative Sulayman Saho who called on the Barrow government to withdraw Senegalese forces from Foni.<\/p>\n

Saho, a UDP member, argued that recent fighting between the MFDC and Senegalese soldiers reportedly under Ecomig have threatened the security of the people of Foni and called on members to review and amend the security agreement. Samusa, who is fiercely loyal to Barrow and the government agenda, said Saho\u2019s suggestions were \u201crubbish and political[ly motivated]\u201d.<\/p>\n

Samusa told the speaker: \u201cI think in the future such a statement of this kind should not be entertained in this assembly. People cannot make statements just out of politics or to play with the government. In my view, it is a rubbish statement! As far as I am concerned he [Central Baddibu NAM] is saying rubbish.<\/p>\n

The speaker swiftly intervened and warned that \u201cuncivil language\u201d will not be accepted in parliament. \u201cI don\u2019t take this kind of behaviour. Let us exercise decorum. We are parliamentarians. Let us be polite and civil in language,\u201d Mariam Jack Denton censured.<\/p>\n

But the veteran lawmaker told the speaker not to \u201cgo into that\u201d saying he was \u201conly saying the statement is nonsense and stand to that [sic]\u201d. The speaker instantly rebuked him and gave him an ultimatum to withdraw his \u201cnonsense or rubbish\u201d statement or leave the house.<\/p>\n

Samusa stood his ground and the speaker ordered him to leave. As he was leaving, the disgruntled Samusa was heard muttering, \u201cIt is okay, we shall see\u201d.<\/p>\n

Addressing lawmakers after Samusa left, the speaker said her \u201cleniency has been taken for granted\u201d by certain members, and said expulsion from the chambers awaits any member who \u201cblatantly disrespects the Assembly\u2019s rules\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we don\u2019t respect the authority of parliament, who else will respect it? she queried.<\/p>\n
