Today’s Parliament session abruptly finished after an MP walked out.
The lengthy session, which started at 9.30am, ended at 5.15pm as MPs discussed what in parliamentary terms are called late submitted ‘urgent topics’.
Parliament Speaker Ahmed Al Musallam refused to allow MP Mohammed Al Rifaee to comment on a proposal because of the ‘repetitive’ nature of his voiced opinions.
He decided to walk out leaving the chamber with only 20 MPs from a 21 required quorum.
