MBABANE:Timothy Myeni,the Nkilongo Member of Parliament(MP) was blocked by Finance Minister Neal Rijikernberg from raising a point of clarification, regarding the matter of Khaya Gina who was fired as the Elections Commission’s Registration Clerk merely for being a member of the Swaziland Democratic Party(SWADEPA).
On Wednesday,MP Myeni demanded answers from Justice Minister Pholile Shakantu, however, the Finance Minister stopped him and the Speaker sided with Rijikernberg.
“Mr Speaker I am raising a point of clarification, the EBC fired a citizen from Lubulini merely for wearing a SWADEPA t-shirt. I knew that the Finance Minister will disturb me, that’s what he always does,” said the MP.
But Speaker Petros Mavimbela said the Minister was within his rights to interject and demand clarification while MP Myeni was addressing the House of Parliament.
