The Speaker, Imo State House of Assembly, Paul Emeziem, has dismissed claims in some quarters, that the suspension of six lawmakers of the assembly was inappropriate, insisting that it followed due process. Emeziem told newsmen in Owerri, during the weekend that the suspension “is constitutional”, against the claims by the affected legislators that their suspension was illegal, unconstitutional and undemocratic. The Imo Speaker, who regretted that the affected lawmakers were guilty of one parliamentary misconduct or another, added that there was no reason for the leadership of the House to witch hunt any member with suspension or whatever. The House, apart from the suspension, had sacked and replaced the Chief Whip and dissolved all standing committees.
