First Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly Madalitso Kazombo suspended deliberations in the house prematurely due to intermittent water supply.

The development followed a request from Mulanje Bale Victor Musowa who asked for early adjournment over the matter.

Reacting to the requesting before adjourning the house, Kazombo said the problem has arisen due to a pipe which has burst and it is located behind the Building and that currently officials are fixing the problem.

The lawmakers are currently on Committee of Supply of the 2020/2021 national budget whereby they are scrutinising the budgetary allocation vote by vote.

Meanwhile the house has approved four allocations including that of Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA) and Roads Authority.
