Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>The current Speaker of the Zambian National Assembly is perhaps the first and last female Speaker to occupy that office for generations to come, Yes ! This is a woman that has allowed herself to be dented by her emotional decisions which she has refused to separate from her person as Speaker of the National Assembly of Zambia.<\/p>\n

Madam Speaker would have allowed herself to be respected by the house from the year 2021 to 2026 without any member disrespecting her office or herself because of the decisions that she makes as a presiding officer of the house.<\/p>\n

She has now lost respect from the both sides of the house because of her emotional decisions that are extremely partisan beyond those members of the right who equally get shocked with her rulings unfortunately.<\/p>\n

Madam Speaker may not know that as members that interact with each other do talk and we agree on alot of the happenings and at the same time do disagree without emotions attached.<\/p>\n

If at all madam Speaker had a genuine heart of impartiality, she should have asked herself one fundamental question, why is it that my deputy has earned the respect of the both sides of the house? Why is it that the house is full when am not presiding as Speaker? Your deputy has made the house as enabling environment for all to debate without engaging the members as prescribed by the standing orders!<\/p>\n

Madam Speaker your failing to pronounce certain names of certain constituencies like kantanshi only exposes how you despise some sect of the house but ever willing to give them prominence just to appear balanced.<\/p>\n

Madam Speaker you change rules that govern the house at your own will without consulting members but quick to announce that parliament made its own rules when you know for a fact that the rules applicable now where not adopted by the house.<\/p>\n

Madam Speaker, you are quick to respond to any point of order raised by the members of the executive and act. Yet when complaints are brought to your office by members from your left side no response is given.<\/p>\n

Madam Speaker what is currently protecting you is the judiciary that is not willing to deliver any ruling that is before court. Imagine if judgments are delivered against you when out of office and in your retirement? I personally as Munir do accept that you hate me with a passion but I don\u2019t pay hate with hate madam and maybe its a reason I do not go to court when you suspend me and do not even challenge your decisions.<\/p>\n

If I was to challenge your decisions in a just society, you know the genuine outcome! I am not a person that holds a grudge against people for long like the record file will show in your office that I once withdrew a complaint against a minister because you could not act.<\/p>\n

Similarly you have tried to protect a minister whom I complained against but allowed him to put in a counter complaint so that I withdraw mine, but just to let you know that walls have ears am not withdrawing my complaint.<\/p>\n

The people you have resolved to suspend are Hon Jay Banda, Hon Binwell, Hon Mundubile and myself. So go down in history as having suspended the most members of Parliament in two years if that pleases your heart madam.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t mind being kept in one defunct committee for five years as that\u2019s your prerogative as Speaker, I don\u2019t mind not travelling like you or any member like Chabinga every other day to earn an allowance as I did not even know that parliament has such programmes before I was elected.<\/p>\n

As I conclude madam Speaker, no matter how much you hate me, suspend me I hold no grudge against you but I feel sorry for you! What will you be remembered for? The first woman Speaker that suspended the most members that she despised? The speaker that made committees based on patronage? The speaker that chose who travels the most because of ethnicity? The speaker that chose to curtail debates ? The speaker that allowed members to be outside the chamber because of it being toxic? Or the speaker that suspends Munir after reading this? So after you read this when will you name me again? Since my last suspension was because of my genuine traditional attire which you detest!<\/p>\n
