MP Kandodo falls asleep during SONA: The excuse, ‘Mutharika’s address boring’

Malawi Congress Party (MCP) Member of Parliament for Kasungu Central Ken Kandodo was on Friday caught on camera  falling asleep during President Peter Mutharika  State of the Nation address (Sona) in Parliament via video link.

And this was not just a quick shutting of the eyes, Kandodo, who is also parliament’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC) chairperson, was sprawled out almost horizontally.

Kandodo—who once served in Democratic Progress Party (DPP) and People’s Party (PP) governments as a Cabinet minister— is not the first Malawi lawmaker caught sleeping on the job, and undoubtedly he won’t be the last.

However, he downplayed his nap, saying the President’s address was “boring” and “confusing” amid threats of treason and call for Parliament to reverse the Constitutional Court and Supreme Court of Appeal rulings which nullified his re-election last year.

  1. HE you even fail in a recorded and possibly fabricated SONA to be a bit more dynamic and charismatic!
    We all remember your own cabinet minister Henry Mussa, on the same parliamentarian occasion, but live, in the same mode!
    Be careful, in the end MPs will introducing a sleeping allowance…

  2. I, too, would have fallen asleep listening toa boring recorded speech with nothing in it but accusations of the Judiciary and the Opposition.

  3. If it were me, I would have walked out of parliament rather than listening to some stupid speech recorded from the bunker.

  4. Who can not sleep. They have had their allowances and were out honking and drinking. I know Ken who was duped by money multipliers when he used to work for BPP . How stupid a chartered accountant thinking that money can be made through multiplication.

    1. Infact it was early cashgate after stealing he thought he could pay back by multiplying complete idiot

  5. He has always been sleeping on the job since the day he started politics. I am not surprised himself and his constituency have not developed an inch despite him serving as a cabinet minister for two governments. Azibale a Kamuzu anthu Aku Kasungu kungowasankhila umbuli nothing to show on the ground except their bellies protruding out of their jackets.

    1. say that again. kumangosankha anthu nivonenepa. koma umbuli wathuwu.kudya munthu ngati aphedwa pa electric chair and has been asked to choose the last meal. shit. it stinks
