The National Assembly was on Wednesday, December 29, forced to suspend its session after a member of parliament sustained a bloody injury during a special parliamentary sitting to debate the controversial Political Parties Amendment Bill
Sigowet Soin MP Benard Koin suffered an injury in the eye and was spotted bleeding from his right-hand cheek.
Koros, who belongs to the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) faction, was seen wiping off blood using his handkerchief. He claimed that he had been attacked by a fellow legislator in the August House.
“Mr.Speaker, I have been attacked in this house by the master of violence, now I can’t see, I can’t vote. We cannot accept to be injured in a national house. This cannot happen here!”
Chaos erupted as the MPs were called upon to vote for against proposed amendments to amend Clause 6 of the Political Parties Act by Kandara legislator, Alice Wahome . As the lawmakers queued to vote, a brawl erupted within parliament buildings.
MPs were seen pushing each other, some even exchanging heavy fists and punches – forcing the session speaker Chris Omuelele to suspend the sitting for 15 minutes to allow the tension to dome down.
