AMUSAA Still Occupying Speaker’s HOUSE And Says “the media hasNO authority to question his continued stay in the Speaker’s official residence”
FORMER Speaker of the National Assembly Amusaa Mwanamwambwa has not moved out of the official Speaker’s residence and his successor Judge Dr Patrick Matibini is accommodated in a temporary house.
According to insiders, Mwanamwambwa is still waiting for his retirement home to be completed before he can vacate the official residence of the Speaker.
But when contacted, Mwanamwambwa said .
“Can you talk to the Clerk of the National Assembly on this matter? You really have no authority to talk to me about where I live. That is very disrespectful. So talk to the Clerk of the National Assembly. You have her number, alright, are you getting me?” an infuriated Mwanamwambwa asked.
“Do respect people! Heee! Do respect people! This is not any of your business. Are you still on the line? I want to say this: you know that I am a reporter? I am a reporter like you, but older. I am a reporter. Frankly, this is disgusting. You follow me, I don’t know what kind of a reporter you are.”
Clerk of the National Assembly Doris Mwiinga has not responded to a query sent to her office on November 18, 2011 concerning the matter.
Minister of Works and Supply, Yamfwa Mukanga, said he was not sure when Mwanamwambwa would vacate the government house because he did not know the Speaker’s conditions of service.
“When we are talking about issues of the Speaker, Chief Justice those are very senior officials and definitely we don’t need to be pushing them around like that. What we need to do is that they know they have their conditions of service and I am sure they are working in line with that,” Mukanga said.
“You have to allow him to have a better exit. And when he goes at the right time then we will also move in to work on what is required. Then if there is any work to be done in that house, it will be done.”
Mukanga said he had no problems with whatever was going on because, in the meantime, everything was ok.
“We don’t need to find a house for the new Speaker. The new Speaker will have to shift in the Speaker’s house which is already on the Parliament grounds. So when the outgoing Speaker goes, the new Speaker will come in. If there is any rehabilitation, it will be done before he shifts in,” Mukanga said.
“There is no delay. They are within the specified time. Especially if someone has worked for a long time and has retired, give them space to shift and they will shift at the right time.”
An insider said Speaker Matibini was being accommodated at Mulungushi Village complex.
“The argument is that Mr Mwanamwambwa’s predecessor Dr Robinson Nabulyato stayed in the Speaker’s official residence for 13 months after retirement in 1998 while waiting for his retirement home, so even Mr Mwanamwambwa will wait until his new house, which is at an advanced stage, is completed,” the insider said.
Mwanamwambwa was Speaker from 1998 until July this year at the end of the life of the past Parliament when he retired.

leave Aamusa alone… It’s not like Dr. Matibini has complained about anything… Even as u report ur shit news, protocal must be observed.. U dnt just call the former speaker anyhow- tau sukwise na mukanwa ati “what’s ur comment??” Bull shit!!
In any case, both Matibini n Mwanamwambwa are financially stable n it’s not like either of them would be desperate without the house under discussion…. Have respect, chachine!!

Amusa is like Chfi Ray. Elections have been held, PF has won and things have changed. Comply with changes.
How long were you in Parliament just saying Order, Order and u did not care to strengthen a law that addresses Pensioner’s dues? Tepapa wamona naiwe yakukwita Pensioner’s Dieases.

Amusa is naturally greedy, those who are close to him will attest to this fact. I think he is the right candidate for the MMD Presidency

“old enough to be pushed”,”senior government official”,”his house is still under construction”.
These expressions clearly shows that “others” are more Zambian than the rest.You are telling me the ‘honorable’ has no money to construct his own house? He should know better.GREEDY LEADERS THEY ARE INDEED!

Respect to the former speaker Amusa Mwanamwambwa. Thank you for your service to Zambia.
Am however, concerned with the outburst attributed to you in the article. For a man who was at helm of ‘Order in the house’ and guiding the house on parliamentary ettiquette, a job you seem to have done very well, you surely made my jaw drop. You could have done it better. You are public figure and reporters will always see you newsworthy. Don’t embarrass yourself.

this shows that some offices have better exit clauses/ more relaxed time frames than the offices occupied by the head of state & his vice once their time to go is announced! read the fine print in your job description

This former cadre was ancient in his job as speaker and was so biased! These are the questions that we must be putting to him! Stand aside sir! Let the young people rule in your position, better!
