COMMOTION IN PARLIAMENT
There was commotion in Parliament as two Members of Parliament rose to address the house as Leader of Opposition.
The drama started when Speaker of the House Catherine Gotani Hara requested the leader of Opposition to address the house on the business committee proceedings .
Leader of Opposition in the house Kondwani Nankhumwa rose to address the house on the business committee proceedings but faced Opposition as the newly appointed Leader of Opposition Mary Navicha also rose to address the house .
Speaker of the house then asked Mary Navicha to take her seat and recognized Nankhumwa as the Leader of Opposition something which did not go well with some DPP members of Parliament in the house who started opposing the move by Hara .
This then prompted Hara to suspend the house for ten minutes to solve the issue.
The Democratic Progressive Party weeks ago, fired Kondwani Nankhumwa as Leader of Opposition in the house following his expulsion from the Party on disciplinary issues and replaced him with Mary Navicha.
Hostility Continues to hit the Opposition DPP as rival factions have emerged within the party.
