There are strong indication that some aggrived members of the Kogi State House of Assembly may likely boycott subsequent sitting in House.
Tribune Online findings gathered that the problem may not be unconnected with the welfare of the assembly members since they came on board.
However, sitting, on Tuesday, confirmed that some members of the House have made up their mind not to attend sitting any longer if nothing is done about their welfare.
Out of 25 members of the House, 10 of them were present which indicated that all is not well with the House.
The Speaker, Prince Mathew Kolawole, however, decried the attitude of some lawmakers who attends executive sessions without attending plenary sittings.
The speaker made the observation at Tuesday plenary sitting saying any lawmaker who is fond of doing so would be termed to be absent.
He, however, moved a motion to take effect and it was second by the majority leader representing Ajaokuta State Constituency Bello Hassan Balogun.
Citing relevant sessions of the house rules, the speaker noted that the motion so moved was to put to effect relevant sessions of the house rules.
It was, however, gathered that some lawmakers who were absent at Tuesday plenary attended the executive session held at the speakers office.
Meanwhile, a bill for a law to repeal and re-enact the Kogi State Hotel and Edict, 1995, establishing the Kogi State hotels and tourism board and a bill for a law to establish Kogi State Erosion and Watershed Management agency have passed through second reading in the house.
