30 MPs suspended for 30 days in Zambia

Deputy speaker of National Assembly Attractor Chisangano has suspended 30 PF MPs from the National Assembly for 30 days for breach of parliamentary privileges in accordance with section 22 Powers and privileges Act.

The ruling is in the wake of the behaviour exhibited by the MPs last year where they thronged the Chambers of the speaker in December last year disrupting business after their fellow nine PF members whose elections were nullified by the High Court were asked to leave the Chambers by speaker of the National Assembly Nelly Mutti.
