At
a sitting yesterday afternoon and shown live on local TV, members of the
House of Representatives, while discussing the removal of subsidy, the
2012 budget and the state of emergency in some states, passed a motion
asking the executive arm of Government to suspend the removal of fuel
subsidy and allow for wider consultation.
The House also plan to set up a committee that will interface with labour while the strike is ongoing.
The Rep members said they heard about the subsidy removal in the pages
of the newspaper like the rest of us. They claim they were not consulted
before the action was taken by GEJ and co.
I know it was carried out without the consent of the legislative arm of government but what we ask of is that they give GEJ a decree that he must but follow inorder to allow peace reign in this Country. Both houses(senate and rep) should enforce this.
