Dr. Shürhozelie on suspension order
Earlier, in his presidential address to the NPF leaders, Dr. Shürhozelie narrated the chain of events leading to the exigent moment when he was compelled to issue suspension orders to the seven Legislators.
“I have not mentioned in the orders the suspension period because I have kept room for consideration of revoking the orders once the legislators repent and mend their ways,” he said.
“Our doors are open and we will welcome back all repentant legislators.” Dr Shurhozelie also briefed the NPF leaders about the series of meetings the top party leaders have been holding with the Governor in the last few days and assured the gathering that the T.R. Zeliang-led DAN government would last its full term.
NPF secretary general cited the relevant clauses of the party Constitution which gives the president authority to take extreme decisions in times of exigencies.
He also pointed out that the term of the last tenure ended last year and that the new team was inducted only on November 26 last and that owing to festive holidays, the party was yet to constitute various committees including DAC.
Kenye also pointed out that only the leader of the NPF Legislature party, T.R Zeliang is authorized to convene a party’s Legislature meet and that the one called by anyone else is “unconditional and ultra vires.”
Further, the meeting termed the appointment of Kuzholuzo Nienu as “chief whip” including all other appointments by G. Kaito Aye as “unconstitutional and considered null and void”.
