However, Rep. Kolubah, through his lawyers filed a writ of prohibition to the Supreme Court, terming the House’s decision as illegal. At a conference hearing earlier on Thursday, Justice Nagbe said the House did not accord Rep. Kolubah due process as outlined in Rule 48.4 of the House of Representatives. 48.3 The request to be presented pursuant to Chapter XI of this rule shall be in writing and submitted to the Speaker together with the evidence. Though it may seem that Rep. Kolubah has scored a significant victory, there are signs the suspension debacle is far from over. But Rep. Gray fired back in a quick response, saying the opposition lawmakers were disingenuous in their comments and vowed to lead a campaign to remove Rep. Kolubah if he continues his actions.
