The Speaker of Parliament has cautioned members of the general public not to take photos inside the Parliament Chamber.
Speaker Simeon Seule said a similar announcement has been made once.
He warned that cameras or mobile phones would be confiscated if anyone is caught capturing photos.
He would also ask the police to remove anyone who gets caught, out from the public gallery, he further warned.
Standing Order provisions have clearly outline rules for “visitors”.
It states, “While Parliament or the Committee of the Whole Parliament is sitting, visitors must no take photographs, videos or sound recordings, or use mobile phones inside the Parliamentary Chamber.”
Speaker Seule emphasised on the fact that the law prohibits anyone to take photographs, when Daily Post spoke with him yesterday afternoon.
But he further added that if anyone wishes to take photographs, they must seek permission from the Clerk of Parliament, who will then inform the Speaker.
Meanwhile, Parliament has been adjourned to tomorrow.
