Eight APNU+AFC MPs suspended over December 29 Parliament ruckus

Eight APNU+AFC Members of Parliament (MPs) were suspended for various periods in the wee hours of Friday morning when a motion recommended by the National Assembly’s Committee of Privileges was adopted in the absence of the main opposition members.

On December 29 last year, chaos erupted in the National Assembly when the eight – Christopher Jones, who is Opposition Chief Whip, Ganesh Mahipaul, Tabitha Sarabo-Halley, Sherod Duncan, Vinceroy Jordan, Natasha Singh-Lewis, Annette Ferguson and Maureen Philadelphia, of APNU+AFC, attempted to stop the passage of the Natural Resource Fund (NRF) bill.
