BINWELL MPUNDU RULED OUT OF ORDER FOR CALLING AGRICULTURE MINISTER “ABENE BANSALA”
By: Thomas Afroman Mwale
Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly Malungo Chisangano has ruled Nkana Member of Parliament Binwell Mpundu out of order for calling Agriculture Minister Reuben Mtolo Phiri “Abene Bansala” (Patron of Hunger).
The decision followed a Point of Order raised by Katombola MP Clement Andeleki, who asked whether Mr. Mpundu was in order to use the phrase against the minister during parliamentary proceedings.
In response, the ichabaiche President defended his statement, saying it was made in the spirit of cousinship traditionally shared between Northerners and Easterners.
However, the Deputy Speaker ruled that the remark was inappropriate, emphasizing that Zambia does not have a ministerial position called Patron of Hunger, before officially declaring Mr. Mpundu out of order.
And the comment makes Binwell Mpundu chaume? The comment add value to the debate?
This is the intent of PF. Be detractors. Stall actual work from being done. Plan B
This parley 2021-26 has been something else.
A lot of the MPs will not make it in 2026 because they were not fit in the first place to be MPs including the likes of Binwell Mpundu. We have already seen off JJ Banda, Munir Zulu, Maureen Mabonga to mention a few.
Binwell Mpundu and Mutotwe Kafwaya are the dullest members of parliament ever
