Speaker of Parliament Catherine Gotani Hara has prematurely adjourned the house sine die amid protests from the opposition lawmakers led by leader of opposition Kondwani Nankhumwa.
It all started when the opposition MPs defeated government’s motion for the house to deliberate on the Press Trust reconstruction amendment bill.
After this, leader of the house Richard Chimwendo Banda proposed for an early adjournment of the house.
But opposition MPs protested the motion, saying there is an unfinished banking bill that needs to be disposed of.
Nankhumwa said the bill was at committee stage, hence it should be dealt with.
Despite the protest, Hara adjourned the house sine die.
Meanwhile, opposition MPs are chanting “boma lathawa”.
