 ‘Conference Hall’ – Senators complain over poor quality of reconstructed Senate Chamber Senators on Tuesday expressed anger over the condition of the reconstructed Chamber, which they described as a ‘mere conference room’. Controversy has trailed the refurbished Senate Chambers since plenary resumed in the facility last week. Last Tuesday’s plenary was trailed by confusion as some Senators quarreled over sitting arrangements in the renovated chamber. During plenary on Tuesday, complaints over the standard of the Chambers led to a rowdy session which lasted for about 15 minutes and eventually forced the Senate into executive session. The Chief Whip of the Senate and lawmaker representing Borno South, Ali Ndume, who raised the issues through Order 42 of the Senate Standing Rules, said, “What is supposed to be a Chamber, has been turned into a Conference Hall”, a development which he said is not acceptable. “Mr President, I rise to make disturbing observations on this supposedly renovate

THE JUDGE IN SARAKI'S CASE REFUSED TO GIVE JUDGEMENT,AFTER HE WAS ACCUSED BY 2 ONLINE MEDIA.

                 According to sources,Justice Addul Kafarayi of the Federal High Court,Abuja today tuesday withheld his scheduled judgement in a fundamental rights enforcement suit by Senate President,Bukola Saraki.On March 1st,Justice Kafarati fixed judgement for yesterday after entertaining arguments from parties,who also adopted their final written addresses.At the resumption of court's businesses at 9am yesterday,the court's registrar informed lawyers in the case,including Saraki's supporters,who arrived the court early,that the judgement has been fixed for 1pm.They all waited patiently,but when the judge arrived a little over 1pm,he stunned all when he announced his decision not to deliver judgement,but to withdraw from the case.He hinged his decision on some reports by on-line media,including Sahara Reporters and Naij.com,which he said portrayed him in bad light.He said by the impression created in the reports,suggesting that he had been compromised,it would be wrong for him to proceed and render any decision in the case.Justice Kafarati said ''The two publications made allegations against my person,alleging that i have been compromised with N2bn.They also alleged that i am known in the legal cycle for being susceptible to corruption.What this has done is to put my integrity to question.I however regard the publishers as people of unsound mind.They know that what they said is not true.They just derive pleasure when they malign the intergrity of a judicial office.It is unfortunate that we don't have appropriate laws to take care of this.As it stands,i am caught between two devils,if the judgement goes in favour of Saraki now they will say that i have been compromised,on the other hand,if it goes against him,they will say i have been intimidated.In the light of the allegation,i believe the right and appropriate thing to do is to disqualify myself and return the case file to Chief Judge for re-assignment to another Judge''.The suits is one of many moves by Saraki to stall his trial on charges of false assets declaration.More photos below.
