Speaker reads riot act to rowdy MPs

Members of Parliament who sing in Parliament in ululation or protest face suspension for the rest of the session, National Assembly Speaker Advocate Jacob Mudenda has ruled.

Adv Mudenda said MPs must instead express themselves through formal debate.

The Speaker, who has already banned singing in the House reiterated the position on Tuesday after President Mugabe' State of the Nation Address when legislators from both Zanu-Pf and MDC-T broke into songs soon after his address.

Zanu-PF MPs rose and started singing "Nyatsoteerera unzwe kutonga" prompting their MDC-T counterparts to sing; "Zanu yaora baba".
