THE SPEAKER WAS NOT WRONG, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH SHOWING SOME HUMOUR – HAMUKALE
FORMER Southern Province Minister Edify Hamukale has defended Speaker of the National Assembly, Nelly Mutti, following criticism over her celebratory dance in Parliament after the passage of Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 7.
Dr. Hamukale says there was nothing wrong with the Speaker expressing a light moment of humour, adding that her actions did not breach any parliamentary rules or offend Members of Parliament.
He said that the Speaker would only have been out of order if some Members had voted against the Bill, which he says was not the case.
“All Members voted in favour of the Bill, so there was no one offended by the Speaker’s actions in the National Assembly,” said Dr. Hamukale.
He has since urged Zambians not to be overly serious about life, encouraging the public to embrace good humour from time to time.

I assume that She danced because there was peace and cooperation among our law makers who for once agreed with each other to preserve national pieces which others were saying that the bill will bring war which is alien to Zambia. No one can defeat the spirit of Zambians for preserving peace. You can have different opinions by still remain brothers and sisters. One Zambia one nation.
HAAMUKALE, it is your time. Enjoy it while it lasts.
VOTE FOR CHANGE IN 2026.
It’s the Haamukale all over again!!!
A speaker of parliament dancing because of an election outcome is humour? We Zambians must be serious. If we follow our numerous “doctor” so and so, we are jokers.
Parliament is not a comedy show. If her action was supposed to be humour, that humour was in bad taste.
In future, the Speaker must conduct herself in a dignified manner beffiting her office, especially in the light of the contentious nature of the debating and passing of Bill 7. What she displayed was a total lack of wisdom.
