--National Service brouhaha--

It will be recalled that the Minority in Parliament resisted the approval of Madam Afisa Otiko Djaba because she did not do her national service.

They argue that they do not want to be part of an illegality by approving her.

Two MPs from the Minority have since petitioned the Supreme Court to revert her appointment.
