THE Speaker of the Imo state House of Assembly, Paul Emeziem, has said the decision to suspend six out of the 27 lawmakers was in line with House rules and provisions of the Constitution. Emeziem, said this while speaking with journalists in Owerri on Sunday. He said that the House under his leadership has remained resolute to effective service delivery and would not condone any act capable of bringing the legislative arm into disrepute. “Also, we have taken time to observe unnecessary insinuations by certain members, abuse on the personalities of fellow colleagues, autocratic demands of rights and privileges without references to the rules. Amara Iwuanyanwu was set up by the House to entertain any grievance or whatsoever regarding the suspensions and related matters.”Copyright PUNCH.
