He criticized the deputy speaker from his own party for endorsing a decision that, according to him, disregarded the official seniority ranking, calling the act “regrettable.”


Sampang also described the government’s move as a mistake and an attack on the rule of law, arguing that such actions cannot be justified.


He further objected to the appointment of a Chief Justice from the fourth position in the seniority list, calling it a serious procedural error and accusing the government of bypassing parliamentary processes through the ordinance on the Constitutional Council.
