Africa-Press – Namibia. Amupanda returned to parliament when it resumed and informed the house that Kalola has been hospitalized with a swollen hip as a result.
He said this is a result of an assault.
Amupanda also claimed that some of the security members who removed Kalola are not from parliament.
“Those guys, some of them are my relatives and they are not parliamentary security as you are saying. I know them and we know where they work,” he said.
Kalola explained what triggered the situation, that he raised a point of privilege which is allowed by the rules of parliament.
“The speaker didn’t want to give me a chance and I insisted that I should be given a chance to ask for a point of privilege,” he said.
Kalola said he refused to leave parliament when the speaker made a ruling that he should leave.
He also said the people who came to remove him from parliament are members of the intelligence community and not part of parliament security.
Body of Christ Party president Festus Thomas who was near the scene says his left foot was injured after being stepped on during a scuffle between members of parliament from the AR, and security clusters.
“I was sitting behind Kalola. The security officials were so many and in the process when they were pulling the gentlemen out they stepped on my left foot. I am now in pain,” he said.
Thomas questioned who will pay for his medical bill.
“We are a democratic country. We cannot be bullied like the colonial times was,” he said.
According to him, using force will not achieve anything.
He said that Kalola did nothing wrong by asking to stand on the point of privilege as part of the standing orders.
