Sudan SPLM, NCP legislators exchange accusations
May 14, 2009 (KHARTOUM) –Members of ex-Southern rebel group, Sudan people Liberation Movement (SPLM), at the National Assembly exchanged accusations with the speaker over a procedural dispute at a parliamentary session on Tuesday.
Arman was referring to a request by another SPLM member to summon the Sudanese minister for guidance to get his testimony on the Islamic scholar board.
The National Assembly speaker Al-Tahir reportedly turned it down telling Arman that “this is not a point of order”.
Arman accused Al-Tahir of running the National assembly in an authoritarian manner and added that the parliament is appointed by the president and his Vice president and can be replaced at any point.
Furthermore Arman alleged that the National Congress Party (NCP) uses its majority to force resolutions and points of orders during the sessions.
But the National assembly speaker said that the NCP’s majority is a democratic one and defended the record of the parliament in addressing urgent issues and subpoenas to government ministers. He also said that the National Assembly ratified 37 treaties.
Arman has recently came under fire from NCP assembly members after his remarks in which he argued that adultery should not be punished during discussions on the criminal law.
The SPLM figure also reportedly received death threats with some Islamic figures saying that he is guilty of apostasy — a crime punishable by death under Sudanese law.
