United Democratic Front (UDF) leader in parliament Ned Poya has called on the Tonse Alliance government to prioritize construction of houses for teachers, health workers and security agents rather than moving to construct MPs houses.
Poya also faulted President Lazarus Chakwera for failing to tackle the issue of environment and clshaimate change in his State of the Nation Address.
DPP deputy whip Martha Lunji who is also MP for Nkhotakota North East has called on President Lazarus Chakwera to fire Minister of Civic Education and National Unity Timothy Mtambo saying his character is questionable as Minister responsible for uniting Malawians.
She said the Minister, by then leader of Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) was involved in demonstrations that saw people’s businesses, houses and other structures being destroyed.
However, leader of the house, Richard Chimwendo Banda asked if it was proper for the DPP deputy whip to question the president’s prerogative.
Second deputy speaker Aisha Adams agreed with Banda that Lunji was not supposed to question the president prerogative.
