Parliament adjourned amid chaotic scenes as Speaker calls for order following disruption in National Assembly

Staff Reporter PARLIAMENT was adjourned early on Wednesday after chaotic scenes erupted in the National Assembly barely a day after the fourth session of the eighth Parliament resumed yesterday, following a month-long recess. Proceedings were repeatedly disrupted as Speaker of the National Assembly Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila struggled to maintain order during heated exchanges between Members of Parliament over speaking procedures, questions, and points of order. The Speaker reminded MPs that parliamentary rules are not discretionary and must be followed, stressing that members were required to adhere to time limits and procedural requirements when posing questions and raising motions.
