The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen, has cautioned lawmakers over constant distractions during plenary sessions.
Mr. Abbas accused lawmakers of approaching him during sessions, which he claims distracts him.
“It’s not good to be approaching the chair, it distracts me a lot,” Abbas said in a video shared online.
He added, “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.”
