DPP MP Martha Lunji wants Mtambo fired as Minister

Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Member of Parliament Martha Lunji who is also Deputy Whip has asked President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera to fire Minister of Civic Education and National Unity Timothy Mtambo.

Lunji said this in Parliament on Tuesday when responding to the State of the Nation Addressed delivered by Chakwera on Friday last week.

According to Lunji, Mtambo’s character is questionable considering the fact that he was in the forefront organizing national wide protest when he was leader of the Human Right Defenders Coalition (HRDC).

But leader of the House Richard Chimwendo Banda quashed the call, saying its not in order for Lunji to question President’s prerogative.

This was backed by Second Deputy Speaker Aisha Adams that Lunji’s call was unprocedural.

Meanwhile Mtambo has rebuffed Lunji’s call, saying Lunji is mourning DPP’s lose on the fresh Presidential polls.
