LILONGWE Maravipost: The Leader of the house, Richard Chimwendo Banda, has threatened to deal with Opposition members if they continue to cross the line.

Chimwendo made the remarks soon after Sammer Suleiman, a lawmaker from Blantyre City South East, dared the president to resign for lying to Malawians.

Suileman proposed that the president should be impeached for violating the oath of office, which is contrary to the country’s constitution.

“The president is being sworn in, and he pledges to uphold the constitution and lead Malawians in faithful and just manner,” said Suileman.

On behalf of the opposition side Thyolo Central, Ben Phiri said that Christopher Manja,lawmaker for Salima South, refusal to leave the house after the speaker placed a 105 order was uncalled for.

Phiri said it is a gross indiscipline that needs the business committee to look into it. Failure to adhere to the rule is a gross indiscipline, and no opposition member will ever use the same standing order.

Several members stood up in protest of the leader’s provocation, but Manja removed his jacket during the chaos, which caused the 2nd Deputy speaker to use the standing order.

Meanwhile Parliament has been suspended for 30 minutes for the members to calm down after the chaos and both sides are doing some caucus.
