Parliament sits for only 45 minutes

Parliament today sat for only 45 minutes and had to adjourn because there was no water at Parliament building. Speaker Jacob Mudenda warned the house when it resumed sitting at 2.15 pm today, after a week-long break, that parliament might be forced to adjourn early to ensure that “we do not run into health problems” because there was no water. The house adjourned at 3pm after the Speaker announced the appointment of Nomasonto Audrey Sunga as deputy clerk from 1 March. Only one legislator contributed to the President’s Speech before debate moved on to the motion on the mandatory sentence for rape.
