DAVID MABUMBA IS A ‘BIG MACHINE’ SAYS KAHALE, LEAVING MPs BURST INTO LAUGHTER.
Parliament was turned into a comedy theatre today after Lukulu North UPND Member of Parliament, Hon. Kahale Kahale, described Mwense MP Hon. David Mabumba as a “Big Machine”, sending lawmakers into uncontrollable laughter.
Debating on the floor of the House, Hon. Kahale said he was enjoying his time in Parliament because it was a place full of interesting characters.
He first pointed out Hon. Jamaimah Mwaba, whom he described as a young and sweet member, believed to be among the youngest in the House.
But it was when he turned his attention to Hon. David Mabumba that things got particularly interesting
With a cheeky smile, Kahale described the Mwense lawmaker as a “Big Machine” a remark that immediately sent MPs into laughter.
The description was enough to bring back memories of 2022, when Hon. Mabumba made headlines after a controversial private video showing him naked, including his manhood, circulated on social media.
But just when the House seemed ready to move on, Keembe East MP and Tourism Minister Hon. Princess Kasune jumped in with a point of order.
She questioned whether Hon. Kahale was in order to make such remarks about Hon. Mabumba, demanding to know who had given him the impression that the Mwense MP was sweet, strong and reliable.
Her intervention only added more fuel to the laughter, leaving the House even more entertained.
Meanwhile, social media users are now wondering what exactly Hon. Kasune knows about the alleged “Big Machine” that made her challenge Kahale’s description.
Others are asking whether Parliament was debating national issues or conducting a live performance review of the Big Machine.
Zambian Watch.
MPs must be serious. They should not turn parliament into a comedy show.
In any case, Mr. Mabumba has suffered enough ridicule and embarrassment over the video.
Elsewhere, he would not have dared raise his head and stand for public office. But then this is Zambia where such matters are just a joke. He is not the only one in parliament with such a colourful background.
