The Speaker of the House of Representative, Abbas Tajudeen, has cautioned lawmakers against distracting him during plenary session.
Abass accused Rep members of distraction by approaching him unhindered during plenary sessions.
He made the comment while lamenting over the inability of lawmakers to go through the proper communication channel.
In a viral video, Abass could be heard saying: “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.”
