“I did not get the message. The invitation to the meeting through messages is not adequate. Sometimes there are over one hundred messages. It is humanly impossible to go through all of them,” she said.

“When we got a letter to show cause we were not served by the party, we were called to the office of the Chief Whip,” she added.
Senator Victor Prengei said he was in the village on the day of the meeting and could not attend the meeting.
“On that day, I was in the village, East Mau. The area has very poor network and roads. I use solar and because of the rainy season, I couldn’t charge my phone,” Prengei said before the disciplinary committee.
