Member of Parliament for Nabdam, Dr. Mark Kurt Nawaane has said the decision to shut down plenary work of Parliament in the chamber for three weeks is a right decision considering the fact that COVID-19 positive cases are surging in the house.
On Tuesday, February 9, 2021 Members of Parliament who have contracted the virus stand at seventeen (17) whiles that of the staff members had moved from fifty-six (56) to one hundred and fifty-one (151).
According to the Nabdam lawmaker, three weeks is enough time as those infected would go into isolation for two weeks and in any case when MPs and staffs come back they would go for testing.
“We need to protect Parliament as well”, the House would from the three weeks shut down on March 2, 2021.
