‘Come On Guys, Don’t Be Silly:’ Sanna Jawara Sparks Commotion, Vents Frustration At Heckling MPs

Upper Fulladu MP Sanna Jawara has told some of the MPs not to be silly as they got on his nerves during the ongoing deliberation at the National Assembly on Monday.

While rising on a Point of Order as Foni Berefet’s Sunkaru Badjie shared his view on the draft constitution ahead of a much-anticipated vote got riled after some MPs insisted, he was violating the rule.

“Come on guys, don’t be silly,” Sanna Jawara said as a number of MPs interrupted him when he argued that MPs were being allowed to get into clauses of the draft constitution when they are not allowed to do so.

“Listen guys, have decorum,” Jawara blasted further as the heckling continued, and the speaker using the gavel and singling out Kantora MP Billay Tunkara over ‘side meetings’.

A clearly irked Sanna Jawara then said: “And I will take this opportunity to warn the Honourable Member for Kantora to be mindful.”

“He is violating the rule of the parliament,” a defiant Billay Tunkara fired back.

“My point is you have reminded members time and time again that they should not go into the details…,” Jawara then said only for another MP Alhagie Jawara to interrupt on a Point of Order.

“Honourable speaker, let the Honorable Member confine himself. You said Point of Order, you cannot provide correct clause. You don’t know,” MP Majanko Samusa then fierily blasted Jawara.

“Shut up, shut up,” Jawara fired back.

“You cannot be here disturbing people, distracting people,” Samusa fired back.
