Africa-Press – Eswatini. Mlungisi Makhanya, the President of the People’s United Democratic Movement(PUDEMO) says, Mbabane East Member of Parliament(MP) Welcome Dlamini has confirmed King Mswati as an absolute Monarch by reminding Prime Minister Russell Mmiso Dlamini that, he is not the Head of Government.
“The Prime Minister is not the Head of Government but the King as the Head of State, is the Head of Government. This tendency of addressing the PM as the Head of Government must stop because he will continue to develop a political appetite seeking to control other Arms of the Government,” said the MP inside Parliament on Tuesday.
Responding when asked to analyse MP Dlamini’s Parliament submissions, the PUDEMO President said, “it was so accurate that the Prime Minister is not the Head of Government” but, a Chairman of Cabinet in terms of the eSwatini Constitution.
“In this country, the King is the Head of everything and an absolute Monarch, so MP Welcome Dlamini must also remind the Speaker that he is not the Head of Parliament, the Head of Parliament is the King who is also the Head of the Judiciary. So basically, the King is the Head of everything in this country and that’s why we are demanding a democratic Government”, said the PUDEMO President.
