I know that Parliament enacts laws, and Judges also make laws in the interpretation of what Parliament has enacted. But if the interpretation of crossing the floor is interpreted as wearing party colors, I am sure this is misleading. There are party members out there who do not even wear party colors. The crossing the floor and party colors should be differentiated. Afterall in Parliament members do not wear party colors but just take to the floor. So how come the interpretation of crossing the floor has touched wearing party colors?

Ba Madise mwayowoya nadi. It shows school ya law munamwera zedi. Kulongosola kuti ali yense amvetsetse. A Mayaya sadziwa kuti kunena kwa ndithe ndithe nanthambwe anadzitengera!

Let us stop listening too much to our learned colleagues, lawyers. They are at the forefront of creating mess in our country by trying to complicate anything as long as it allows them to make more money! We decide what we want because we are the owners of the land irrespective of any written or unwritten laws. We are a community or society not because some organisation recognises us or granted us freedom, noooo. It is by virtue of our existence, the freedom given to us by the creator not man! Kumangokhala busy ndi ma technicalities? For what? Societies make… Read more »

The Section is quiet and clear coz it talks of crossing the floor and not wearing another party’s regalia as being stipulated by this Madise who just want to twist the law here taking advantage of poor ignorant Malawians. Can Mr Madise explain to us what the term floor was referred to by the architects of this Section 65??

This section is not applicable if the parliamentarians have gone to the government side. Period. I agree with the one who says it should be scraped off. It’s all academics and insulting our intelligence. This is the time speakers are also “bought” and lose popularity.

This is open rape. The floor is is parliament and there is evidence that the UDF have crossed by going the other side a party represented in parliament. Let’s not confuse the public with facts which are clear. Lucius can move motion and petition speaker that his friends have deserted him to government side. Lucius do it and the world will support you. This time no injunctions.

we are not on the page, you people. Am left behind. You mean these UDF MPz vacated their seats and mics, then walked to the other side of the parliament and sit next to Mrs Kaliati, the minister. I thought there is a dividing passage between ruling party and opposition. Mr Madise has UDF joined ruling party or goverment? I thought when you say govermnet you are refering to civil service and not politicians. When the consitution says “joining another party” is it the same joining goverment/civil service? In this case “floor” in our parliament has another meaning. Is our… Read more »

Triviality at its best. The issue should be finding a lasting solution to section 65
