MPs furious over Finance Minister, Central Bank Governor’s absence <http://catholicradionetwork.org/?q=node/12434> CRN Wednesday, November 20, 2013 - 17:07 *The National Legislative Assembly members on Wednesday turned furious due to the failure of Finance Minister and Central Bank Governor to respond to summon on exchange rate reforms.*
Speaker Manasseh Magok Rundial said the failure of Aggrey Tisa Sabuni and Cornelio Koryom Mayiek to appear before legislators without official communication was a serious matter. He wondered why the officials disappointed the parliament. Speaker Rundial ruled that Tisa and Koryom would be re-summoned. Legislators remain discontented with the ruling and pushed the house to pass a verdict against Tisa and Koryom for failing to appear before the assembly. Minority Leader Onyoti Adigo Nyikwec said the act was contempt to the parliament. He demanded the parliament to take legal action against Minister Tisa and Bank Governor Koryom quoting article 82 of Transitional Constitution. MP Deng Dau Deng of Twic East County supported the decision taken against the officials in their absence. He pointed out that the economic decision Tisa and Koryom took was grave. Government Chief Whip Tulio Odongi Ayahus requested the assembly to pray for Cornelio Koryom who was reportedly hospitalized in Nairobi, Kenya. He said the two officials should appear before the assembly together. - See more at: http://catholicradionetwork.org/?q=node/12434#sthash.v2NSFziY.dpuf -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
