He said, “We got information that leaders of the party were meeting and we went there only for us to get there and found out the meeting has ended. Then someone said no, that they relocated the meeting to the party secretariat. Here we are at the party secretariat. No one is here. It is under lock and key.
“But you ask how can leaders of a party be holding a meeting and members of the party at the National Assembly are not in attendance?
“We can’t continue like this.”
