Parliament update
Thursday, February 22, 2007
A few days ago we asked you to pray for Friday's upcoming vote of no confidence against the Prime Minister. This afternoon we heard that the motion was disqualified. You can read the news from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation below:
Motion of no confidence disqualified
In Solomon Islands, the opposition's notice for a motion of no confidence in the government of Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare has been disqualified. Speaker of Parliament, Sir Peter Kenilorea says according to legal advice the notice he was given failed to meet the seven-clear days required for it to be moved. Sir Peter says since the government had already moved the motion to end the current parliament sitting this Friday, there would be no time to move the no-confidence motion.
