Blantyre City Central Legislature Themba Mkandawire Gets 90 Days Suspension in Parliament

 

 Blantyre City Central Parliamentarian Themba Mkandawire will miss any Parliamentary proceedings and meetings for three months effective this Friday.

The suspension has been announced on Friday 27^th February 2015 by Speaker of National Assembly Hon. Richard Msowoya following pressure from opposition members on Thursday who demanded the speaker to take a decisive action before the House rise sine die.

On Tuesday afternoon, hon Themba Mkandawire punched and headbutted a helpless Head of Usher’s in Parliament Jones Sabola for refusing to give the parliamentarian an extra 2015 Parliament calendar.

The ruling effected this Friday morning restrains the legislature from attending any Parliamentary Service for 90 days, that is will miss all Committee Meetings and will not attend Parliament Meeting if convenes within the period.

Mkandawire has been heavily criticized by his fellow parliamentarians who described the conduct as unparliamentary and others called it “Criminal”
