We informed you recently about a lawmaker who was attending committee meetings with hot damsels. After his habit triggered uproar among members, the man has now changed tack. Instead of sauntering in with the hot ladies, he has now allegedly stationed them in his office. Rarely does he sit in a committee for more than 20 minutes. Often he's on phone, either texting or calling. Word has it that on more than one occasion, he's been caught off guard by the chairperson of a committee asking him to 'give the phone a break'.

The chairman of a parliamentary committee could be facing ouster. Reason? The man has allegedly become an absentee chairman. In the last nine meetings, the man failed to attend, with members raising concerns about his whereabouts. Ironically, sometimes he's seen walking and talking with colleagues along Parliament's corridors during meeting hours. It is alleged that some members say he's also incompetent and has been letting his vice chairperson lead committees even in his presence. Committee members are now up in arms with reports of his looming impeachment.
