yesterday's night 21 lawmakers have duly signed in support of the
speaker's impeachment.
The
source confirmed that already the principal officers of the house had
been impeached having got the 21 lawmakers signed for their impeachment.
"We
have already impeached the primcipal officers by having 21 lawmakers
signed for their impeachment and we are needing only six members to make
the requirement of 2/3 to impeach the speaker."
Asked
on why the lawmakers resolved to impeach the leaders of the house, the
source said, "The reasons are many but the major one is incompetency.
The speaker has completely localised the house.

cannot sit until after 2pm and even at that things are not moving as
expected. We cannot just continue like that because we are representing
our constituents."

allegation of corruption against him.
