They opposed the DA motion without even reading the rule that the DA councilor was relying on. My view was that, personally, I was not going to accept an extension of the role of interim speaker. When I accepted the nomination, it was because I understood it to be a one day appointment. I signed the nomination form on those grounds. Although, I … [Read more...] about ANC’s failed attempt to collapse the Council meeting , was an irrelevant deed of ignorance
