Despite the main opposition’s appeal to Speaker Manzoor Nadir for a reconsideration, the suspension of APNU+AFC Member of Parliament (MP) Sherod Duncan was on Thursday formalized by the National Assembly.
A motion to have the MP suspended was passed on Thursday after it was brought to Nadir’s attention that similar proceedings against Duncan during Wednesday’s meeting of the Committee of Supply saw the misapplication of the Standing Orders.
Nadir on Wednesday called for a motion to have Duncan suspended for four sittings due to his continued outbursts during the consideration of the estimates for budget 2022 on Wednesday by the Committee of Supply.
