Hon Mohamed Bangura, one of the members of Parliament who decided to turn down his party’s decision to boycott governance has said that it remain just nine Parliamentary Sitting for the 52 MPs.
Hon Mohamed Bangura who is representing Karene district said that he has done the right thing by refusing to listen to the unwise decision of his All People’s Congress (APC) party to boycott Parliament.
He noted that he is in Parliament because 77,000 people voted for him, adding that while he believes that there are many electoral lapses by ESCL, the party must represent the people who voted for them.
On the issue of facing a disciplinary committee by the party, Hon Bangura stated that he paid for the nomination fee by himself and not the party.
He said that instead of the party coming out with a release that he should face a disciplinary committee, the party should consider reformation.
He went on to say that as a lawmaker he has subscribed to the oath, revealing that if the party expels him, he will go to the Supreme Court
He explained that there is no election that is perfect not even in the USA and UK, noting that political parties are not social clubs and should operate within the law and in the interest of the people. He further stated that this is the time the APC should come together to find ways in which the party can win the 2028 elections rather than fighting each other.
He reiterated his call for the 52 members of parliament to take their seat because they need strong and vibrant opposition in parliament.
Hon Bangura you’re not smart, you’re just an ordinary person but if we meet we will not just seat and eat but we’ll also stand and eat
Brilliant notion
My question is if political parties are representing themselves in governance? or the said people?. As they usually campaigned with,
by saying our people and now see what is going on.
Mr Bangura that decisions it’s doesn’t came out of the party at that time. Is a call from the people who voted them in, I think the party is listening to their people
Politicians are not good people too much of selfish and greed, they are not there to fight for us but they are there for them self our God will judge u
