Speaker of the National Assembly Catherine Gotani Hara has appeared in Parliament for the first after recovering from the COVID-19 which has so far claimed over 1000 Malawians.

Hara is presiding over deliberations this afternoon. Members of Parliament have expressed joy to have the speaker back in the House.

In her speech Hara thanked the members for their support during the time she was self-isolating after testing positive for Covid-19.

Hara has since urged the members to go for early Covid-19 test.

Meanwhile President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera will be in Parliament this coming Wednesday to answer questions from lawmakers.
