Parliament blackout fuels ED sabotage fury
A power failure that halted a presidential address to Parliament may have been deliberate sabotage intended to force an early end to the speech, according to political observers. The blackout occurred as the president delivered his State of the Nation address, marking the second such incident after a similar disruption affected a budget presentation in November 2024.
The president continued reading his prepared remarks despite the outage, defying security protocols that typically call for evacuation. Critics note that power cuts rarely occur at Parliament, except when the head of state is present, suggesting either intentional interference or severe operational failures warranting dismissals.
Analysts warn that the episode reflects growing impatience among political rivals seeking advancement. They caution that leadership roles depend on factors beyond human scheming and that individuals should accept their current positions rather than pursue power through questionable means.
