The Minister for Defence Dominic Nitiwul said by convention and practice, the Office of the Speaker of Parliament is not assigned military personnel to protect him/her but rather Police personnel.
According to him the military personnel who were assigned to the Office of the Speaker were withdrawn for necessary approval to be sought before their re-assignment when necessary.
This came up on the floor of the House on Thursday, June 9, 2022 in response to a question posed by Dr Rashid Pelpuo MP for Wa Central who wanted to know why the military attachment to the Speaker’s Office Rt. Hon Alban Bagbin was withdrawn.
The Minister further told the House this information has been communicated by the military to the Office of the Rt. Hon Speaker
