This is waste of time. Just impeach the President. Even if he agrees to the formation of a new Government this President will want to hold on to all key ministries..

Don't wast your time Mr Speaker. President is turning a blind eye over all these things that have been approved by parliament after October 26.

Mohamed Wednesday, 12 December 2018 06:38 PM

Now President will have loose motion...
