According to him, the said military commander deployed his men into the chamber because he felt things were getting out of order and wanted to restore sanity.
He dismissed suggestions that the military was deployed by the government to intimidate the members of the House.
“A commander felt things were getting out of order and decided to deploy the military to restore order, so I questioned him ‘why did you think your presence there was going to frighten them’, or could you arrest them…it was an unfortunate incident and we wish it never happens again," the minister-designate stated.
