Today's sitting of Parliament was suspended after repeated disruptions of Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee's presentation of a Firearm Bill by AFC and APNU MPs. The disruptions came despite the Speaker's ruling that Rohee could continue to function as a MP despite the opposition no-confidence motion. This decision was taken and communicated to the House after the Speaker was provided with legal opinion on the matter from SC, Rex McKay and Stephen Frazer. They had both concluded that Minister Rohee must be allowed to perform his functions in Parliament and cannot be removed by way of an opposition vote of no-confidence.
Despite Speaker's ruling, Opposition MPs continued to interrupt with chants and thumps as Minister Rohee rose the bill and it was then that the Speaker intervened once again.
