Speaker of the National Assembly Dr. Patrick Matibini
Speaker of the National Assembly Patrick Matibini today sent out from the house Mazabuka Member of Parliament Garry Nkombo for dissent.
This was after the Speaker twice interrupted Mr Nkombo’s maiden speech after he had referred to the results of the August elections as fraudulent and that the people of Mazabuka believe that a government was stolen.
Dr Matibini advised Mr Nkombo that issue of the August elections is still in court, and that it is sub judice to refer to a matter on which a judicial decision is pending.
He noted that while there is litigation going in the courts of law, the declaration of the presidential election results by the ECZ remains undisturbed and that those are the results in as far as the debates in the house are concerned he will recognise.
Dr Matibini then asked Mr Nkombo to leave the house after the Mazabuka MP told the Speaker that he was not performing his task to protect him from those disturbing him while delivering his speech.
