Seyfo Bala Musa Sanyang Must Resign To Be National Assembly Member
According to a press release issued by the Department of State for Foreign Affairs and National Assembly Matters, Seyfo Bala Musa Sanyang has been nominated to be a member of the National Assembly. Section 90 subsection (1) paragraph (k) of the constitution states the condition that disqualifies a person from being a member of the National Assembly.
Section 90 subsection (1) paragraph (k) states that "No person is qualified for election as a member of the National Assembly if he or she is a District Seyfo or Alkalo." Subsection (3) of section 90 states that this section on disqualification "shall apply to nominated members with such modifications relating to time limits for elections."
A Seyfo cannot be a National Assembly Member.
A spokesperson of the Governor's office, upon enquiry, has said that Bala Musa Sanyang has neither resigned nor has he been dismissed, and as of now is still the Chief of Foni Berefet.
