Leader of Opposition Kondwani Nankhumwa has demanded that Finance Minister Simplex Chithyola Banda first bring to Parliament a statement on the devaluation of the Kwacha before the House tackles any other business.
Nankhumwa said the devaluation has caused a lot of suffering among Malawians.
But Leader of the House Richard Chimwendo Banda has said Standing Orders of the House need to be followed when coming up with such demands.
According to Chimwendo Banda, the Finance Minister already made a statement on the issue of devaluation to the media today and he is ready to make a statement in Parliament as long as Standing Orders are followed.
Chithyola Banda has since said he will bring a comprehensive report on the devaluation and measures to cushion Malawians tomorrow.
