Madam Speaker would not be intimidated

In a brief interview yesterday, Nasha dismissed reports that some members of cabinet tried to arm twist her into not calling for a general assembly for Members of Parliament on Friday, June 3. Reports are that the Office of President was not happy with the meeting and sent ministers to try and convince Nasha not to convene the meeting, set up to resolve the public sector strike that was suspended on Monday.

"If there were any people who were not happy with the meeting, they did not communicate that with me. Ha ele gore bane ba omana, nna ga ke itse," she said. She stated that she was exercising her constitutional right as the speaker to convene that meeting and would do so in future if need arises.
