“Mr Lissu’s condition is improving, so let’s all pray for him,” he told the Parliament on Tuesday, September 12.
Meanwhile,
the Speaker also ordered Ubungo MP Saed Kubenea to report to the
Parliamentary Foreign Affairs, Defence and Security Committee for
questioning following his remark about Lissu’s shooting
He
will also be questioned by the Ethics committee to prove the
allegations that Speaker lied to the National Assembly by saying that
Lissu's vehicle was sprayed with between 28 and 32 bullets.
Opposition
lawmaker Lissu was shot and seriously wounded by unknown assailants as
he arrived at his Dodoma home after attending Parliament’s morning
session last Thursday, September 7.
The Singida East MP was shot as he was about to disembark from his car in the municipality’s leafy Area D suburb.
His
attackers sprayed the front passenger door of his black Toyota Land
Cruiser with bullets after Mr Lissu apparently hesitated to alight from
the vehicle.
The MP was rushed to Dodoma Regional
Hospital, where he was immediately wheeled into the theatre for surgery
to stop bleeding. He was transferred to Agha Khan Hospital in Nairobi on
Thursday night.
