Title
This shall be cited as the Chanku Censure Act.

Act
1. This Storting recognizes the unique accomplishments and achievements of Chanku. However,

2. This Storting finds itself shocked and disappointed by the actions and behavior of Chanku over the past week.

3. This Storting does not want to send a message to the citizenry that such behavior will be tolerated, especially from someone as accomplished as Chanku.

4. Therefore, this Storting hereby officially censures Chanku for her actions as outlined in Section 6 and 7.

5. This Storting hopes Chanku will take this as a signal to change her behavior, to apologize to the community for her actions and that this sends a message to the community as a whole that abusive and toxic behavior will not be tolerated by any citizen of Wintreath, especially from a member of government.

Evidence

6. The first incident on Monday, 14th of October: Chanku engaged in conduct grossly unbecoming a member of the government by using vulgar language to belittle and bully another member of the government in public.

7. The second incident on Friday, 18 October: Chanku did express unacceptably offensive statements against the community at large and did also engage in conduct grossly unbecoming by using belittling language to refer to a member of government and an initiative they had previously introduced.

Statement

8. This Storting does hereby censure Chanku for the above mentioned incidents. We express our profound disappointment and disapproval for her behavior. We also express that we will not tolerate bullying, willfully toxic behavior or any other form of abuse from so prominent a citizen, a member of government and a citizen previously honoured by the Storting. We also warn Chanku that if such behavior continues the Storting will not tolerate it and will take further action as needed.

Hello, everyone. What I am here to say today I do not say lightly. This last week one of our most prominent citizens, a member of our government and someone honoured by this institution engaged in behavior that is, simply, unacceptable for someone in her position. As such, we wish to express our disappointment in terms proportionate to the behavior. I ask that any public comment on this act be made in as civil a manner as possible. Thank you.

I will be recusing myself from this legislation, not for personal reasons but instead because I'm aware that my platform can be and has been seen as being anti-Chanku on some level. That's certainly not been my intention, but in the interests of ensuring this is seen as as reasonable legislation as can be managed, I have decided it would not be in the interests of the Underhusen for me even to discuss, let alone vote on this act, save for in the abstract manner I'm currently doing.

I'm not certain if we have a process of recusal, but if we do not, I shall be abstaining from taking any vote on this legislation.

That's fair, Doc.

As there hasn’t been any opposition or discussion at all, I move to vote.

I second.
