Imanga Wamunyima, Member of Parliament for Nalolo, has publicly disassociated himself from a group of opposition lawmakers who are reportedly preparing an impeachment motion against the Speaker of the National Assembly, Nelly Mutti. Mr. Wamunyima has asserted that his name was included on the list of Members of Parliament without his consent.
In a statement released yesterday, Mr. Wamunyima clarified that he neither supports nor believes in the impeachment motion. He emphasized that he did not sign the motion and urged those behind it not to include MPs who have not been consulted on the matter. His statement comes in response to reports that Nkana Member of Parliament, Binwell Mpundu, has been collecting signatures from mostly opposition and independent MPs to raise a motion for Speaker Mutti’s impeachment.
Amid these political developments, John Mwendapole, the Chairperson of the Charismatic Voice Christian Network, expressed his concerns regarding the alleged move by the opposition Patriotic Front (PF) to push for a motion to impeach the Speaker of the National Assembly. Dr. Mwendapole advised the PF to focus on resolving its internal conflicts and refrain from pursuing actions that may destabilize the political landscape.
He further emphasized the importance of respecting Speaker Nelly Mutti, particularly as the first female Speaker in Zambia. Dr. Mwendapole maintained that Mutti carries out her duties diligently, without showing favoritism to any political party. He suggested that some opposition members may be undermining her authority in an attempt to appear victimized.
The Speaker’s role in the National Assembly is critical, as it includes maintaining order during debates and ensuring the fair and effective functioning of the legislative body.

My worry is that regionalism is clearly exposing its ugly face… support is now blind whether one is right or wrong.
REGIONALISM IS MORE EMINENT IN PF. LOOK AT THEM. MUNDUBILE , KAFWAYA, CHITALU, KAMPYONGO, GBM, CK,,,THSE CANT EVEN ALLOW LUBNDA TO RULE THEM, BUT CAN ALLOW ECL, JUST BECAUSE OF THEIR DESPERATION
#Barth of course you can see it your way because it’s in your favor.
Just for the reminder: any southern who accepted a position in PF government became an enemy of your people. They were expelled from the Upnd and lost the by-election terribly. Those who were nominated could not perform their duties freely. See it your way but a day will come when you will agree with what I have said.
This is too much for the speaker she is bias and the only way is to impeach her period.Do it fast so that others may learn from this.
IN PF 75% OF MINISTERS CAME FROM ,,,, BUT IN UPND IT IS ALMOST PROPO
#Awee Simple arithmetic…were you expecting HH to side line Upnd MPs who don’t come from Zambezia? PF did not have a single MP outside Northern Luapula Urban Copperbelt Urban Lusaka Part of Central. Non Bemba MPs who came from outside Zambezia were all appointed ministers eg Lusambo Malanji Lubinda Kapata etc. So what did you expect when those appointed became enemies in of their regions?
Nellie’s conduct as Speaker is despicable. She has an attitude against opposition members and usually treats them with contempt. While each one is responsible for their actions, Nellie’s conduct is part of the larger UPND agenda. So you can’t cure the ills in Parliament by removing Nellie Kashumba Mutti alone. Fish begins to rot from the head and you know who’s the head of UPND. It’s futile to target Nellie alone, go for the entire UPND
The post of speaker is not to be used as a political weapon. The Speaker should not be threatening people to force them to conform to her party political stances. This speaker in particular loves resorting to punitive powers and doesnt know how to reconcile warring parties. The EFF in South Africa relentlessly remind the speaker that what is supreme is the constitution not the one chairing parliament
This a very rotten speaker we have ever had. Parliament is where our representatives express peoples views. With the UPND cadre Muli, people will never be represented with mealie meal at 300. fuel at k30. fertilizer at k1200 as opposed to what her pay master promised. HH will die a very painful death when he thinks Zambians are dull.
You are all very rotten tribalists who try to blame others for problems you caused. The reason why mealie meal is $300 is because your borrowed U $31 billion from foreigners, and you shared it among yourselves. Now Zambia cannot pay the debt, and it is being forced by those foreigner to pay them with the subsidies that PF found on mealie meal, fuel and other commodities. The removal of these subsidies is the only reason why prices are high. It is your fault. As for the price of fertiliser, why are you complaining about it? Why do you care? You are in Lusaka looting the central government. You are not the ones who do the farming.
Nellie and that other one must be removed. They are an a shame to democracy
Mweetwa should be removed from Govt Spokesperson!!
Win the elections and elect your own speakers. We did not like the ones you imposed on us when you were in power, but we took it as adults because that is how democracy runs.
When you are the ruling party, you can choose your own government spokesman. Mweetwa is a man of integrity. He is not going to rob the government or solicit bribery as the one that deeply disappointed HH, and had to be removed from his post for it.
This jaribu wearing huule needs to go. I will personally drag her out by her long vaglna lips
The only hule is I know is the one who gave birth to you, and is now having an affair with her son- You

She won the award for Commonwealth Speaker of the Year.
Only gullible individuals to PF manipulation can claim the Speaker is biased. Why should the speaker allow Kangombe to keep pushing an issue which she had already made a ruling on? Those who saw the video leading the speaker to order the removal of Kangombe from the house know that the speaker actually asked Kangombe to raise what he considered as issues of national emergency and not issues which were already under the courts. Why should parliament waste time dealing with an issue which had already been ruled on by the speaker. Why did Kangombe fail to raise what he claimed were issues of national emergency when given the opportunity by the speaker to do so??
PF are falling into her trap. She will suspend all of them except for yellow hearted ones like Miles Sampa and then introduce a motion to increase the presidential term to seven years with immediate effect.
Believe it or not these plans have been discussed.
