It is unclear what might have triggered the exchange of words but a video of the incident shows the MP and the DCE confronting each other.<\/p>\n

They used unprintable language, initially in English, until they changed to their local dialect.<\/p>\n

According to some eye witnesses, the MP had tasked a group of people to fill the potholes on the deplorable road.<\/p>\n

However, the DCE came to stop them because he claimed the road has been awarded on contract and work is ongoing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI bring people to come and fix the road and then you have a problem,\u201d the MP, who is also the Deputy Minority Leader, is heard in the video saying.<\/p>\n

Mr Bonzo responded: \u201cThe road is under contract. It is cheap politics.\u201d<\/p>\n
