“ I personally like the way you handle business in this house and such calls to have you resign from your positions are irrelevant”, Kalindo said amid hand clapping and ululations from opposition benches.

Winiko remarks cokes days after a group of people under the name of Islamic Commission for Justice and Freedom through state television Malawi Broadcasting Corporation called for resignation of Msowoya as  Speaker  if he can’t resign as vice president of opposition Malawi Congress Party.
