Public Prosecutor-General Ip Son Sang said yesterday there was no political motive behind the decision of the Public Prosecution Office (MP) to prosecute directly-elected lawmaker Sulu Sou Ka Hou earlier this year of alleged aggravated disobedience.

Ip made the remarks while speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the annual “Walk for a Million” charity event in Barra.

Last week, Sou was suspended from the Legislative Assembly (AL), when 28 out of 33 members of the legislature voted for his suspension so that he can stand trial for the alleged crime.
