The suspension comes after allegations of disrespectful comments towards the assembly leadership and attempts to stir dissent among other members.

In a statement released on Monday, April 15th, the Clerk of the House, Suleiman Shamaki, announced the unanimous decision reached during an executive session on April 12th. The statement explained that Mr. Umar's suspension stemmed from "unguarded utterances" and "instigation" of other members against the house leadership.

Shamaki's statement further elaborated, stating that Mr. Umar's actions were seen as disruptive and caused "disharmony between the Executive and the legislature."

The specifics of Mr. Umar's comments and the nature of his alleged instigation remain unclear.
