Security has been strengthened in Parliament with barricades mounted at the entrance to the chamber to prevent four suspended Members of Parliament (MPs) from gaining access ahead of Tuesday's sitting.
According to TV3's parliamentary correspondent Christian Yalley , security was heightened ahead of proceedings not only to stop the suspended MPs but also to prevent non-MPs from entering the chamber.
The four lawmakers were suspended for two weeks by Speaker Alban Bagbin for their involvement in a violent confrontation during the vetting of ministerial nominees on January 30 at the Appointments Committee sitting.
However, the Minority Caucus strongly opposes the decision, arguing that it was unilateral and demanding an immediate reversal.
