Emmanuel Jay Banda, the outspoken Petauke Member of Parliament, sparked controversy during a recent session in Parliament when he brought up the issue of sexual harassment within the parliamentary environment. Speaker of the National Assembly, Nelly Mutti, swiftly intervened to redirect the discussion, emphasizing the importance of sticking to the agenda. Despite the Speaker’s guidance, Banda persisted, expressing frustration that MPs were not allowed to address instances of sexual harassment. However, his remarks were cut short by Speaker Mutti, who redirected the floor to another MP. Banda’s comments underscore ongoing concerns about workplace culture and accountability within governmental institutions.
