In the parliament, verbal war ensued between the leader of opposition Kondwani Nankhumwa and spokesperson for Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), Shadric Namalomba.

Nankhumwa asked Speaker of Parliament Catherine Gotani Hara to order Namalomba to go back to his new seat which is far from the front seats following the new arrangement due to appointments of a shadow cabinet.

Namalomba opposed Nankhumwa by indicating that he returned to his old seat because there is a court injunction to the new arrangement and that he has eye problems and ca not clearly see from a ‘far’ position.

He told parliament that if the opposition does not want him, he can move to government benches.
