‘Where is President Mutharika?’ Speaker rejects opposition leader’s point of order
Malawi Congress Party (MCP) on Monday queried the absence of President Peter Mutharika in parliament during the opening of the 2019/20 National Budget session.

Leader of opposition Lobin Lowe stood on point of order, saying President Mutharika needed to be in the House to address the nation as part of accountability politics to oblige to the law requirement citing Standing Order 200 which partly reads; “Immediately before the consideration of the national budget the president shall attend Parliament and address the assembly on the state of the nation and policies of the government”.
However, Speaker Catherine Gotani Hara said there was nothing out of order because the President already addressed the nation during the opening of the 48th session.
When he delivered his State of the Nation Address (Sona) at the opening of the 1st Meeting of the 48th Session of Parliament, Mutharika was booed at by MCP lawmakers, who marched out in protest against his re-election as President.
Malawi Crocodile Party is a big problem . OK any way
I have a question. Tinene kuti Catherine Hara wayamba kudya ma banzi a DPP kale? Please dont lose you credibility , walawirira.
Ndati ndipatseni madzi ndatsara pang’ono kukomoka.

Apa ndawona pamalemba Ana….. pachibwana…. you can’t think as to why Lowe he wants the non illegitimate president to address them?
You can’t think he’s joking and have the reason behind.. Munthalika will never enjoy sleeping in new state house in lilongwe NEVER EVER.

Which president did you want in parliament while you opposition you dont recognise him as a president
Yemwe akuba ndalama zathuyo
kukhala wa opposition its a curse. chilichonse chimakhala choyipa. president akhalepo sizikoma, adakhalepo zowawanso. tangojoinani ruling team muzimva kukoma
LOWE ARE YOU INSANE? YOU AND YOUR STUPID MPs WALKED OUT WHEN PETER ADDRESSED THE HOUSE LAST TIME AND YOU ARE BEING HYPOTHETIC?
What’s your Motive Honorable Leader of opposition ? You want to shame Him again? I think you are out of order yourself
Akufuna adzatani? I thought these guys booed at him? Za chipongwe basi…kudos the Speaker. We adore you. You were the right choice!
KKK You want an illegimate president in Parliament? The one who stole your vote? Surely a confused party
You mean this kongelsian didn’t know?
VimaMp va uchindere wakufikapo va EMUSIPI lero vasowa womuchitira chipongwe… kkkkkkkkkk
NDIPATSENI MADZI NDISAKOMOKE INE…
I am sure there is something out of order Catherine. As far as I remember, previous presidents have always attended the opening of the budget session of parliament. Kamuzu never missed one.
This is not Kamuzus era my friend. Wake up from your sleep, this is 25 years after Kamuzu and a lot has changed.
But you have always demonised MCP using Kamuzu era hence to you things have not changed.
Lowe was out of order just like you are!!
NDIPATSENI MADZI NDINGAKOMOKEPO APA INEYO !
So finally these dunderheads, nitwits, nincomppops are recognising the same president they claimed not to? Zimachititsa manyazi oyang’ana, munthu akamapanga act mwa u saveji chonsecho akufuna awoneke ngati dolo
