ZZZzzzzzz… Bored MPs fall asleep listening to Malawi President Mutharika
Follow, follow, follow the leader of the House, George Chaponda into dozing. That was the case of Friday at Parliament as a number of law makers were seen sleeping, yawning, checking their watches and looking bored in general while President Peter Mutharika was delivering a State of National Address at Parliament Building in Lilongwe.

Leader of the House, Chaponda, who is a member for the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) led by example in dozing and snoring together withMalawi Congress Party (MCP) legislators Joseph Njobvuyalema and Alex Major.

In his speech, Mutharika outlined the developments his government has done in the gust ended fiscal year as well as reflecting on what the government intends tp do in the 2016-2017 fiscal year.
