The independent caucus questioned Betserai Richards about her loyalty and the way she aired internal matters to the media.
According to internal sources, during the last meeting, several members expressed their discontent with how Richards handled sensitive and private information of the caucus. It was pointed out that such behavior undermined the trust and internal cohesion of the group.
"It is concerning that a member of our caucus does not respect the confidentiality of our discussions. This endangers the unity and strength of our team," stated one of the independent lawmakers.
Betserai Richards, for her part, defended her actions, arguing that transparency and openness are fundamental in a political party and that the community has the right to be informed about the debates that concern them.
The tension in the independent caucus has revealed internal cracks that will need to be addressed in future meetings to ensure the harmony and effectiveness of the parliamentary group.
