She said "Mr. Speaker Sir, I move under the Privileges and Immunities, to commend Hon. Chinotimba for having won the kissing competition. –[Laughter]- I say so Mr. Speaker, because particularly as women Members of Parliament, we were tired of reading day-in day-out male Members of Parliament that are being taken to court for maintenance and for failing to look after their children.
"So, to be able to see a male member who is showing a good sight of being a good male model should be commended. I thank you Mr. Speaker Sir,".
In response, Mudenda said " order. I would want Hon. Members to refer to their Standing Orders and the Act on Privileges and Immunities.
"There is no romance in our Privileges. I take it that the Hon. Member was trying to be humorous and I am not sure whether you were envious of Mrs. Chinotimba,".
The video showing Chinotimba kissing his wife has since gone viral on social media.
The contestants were married couples and had to kiss continuously with lips touching at all times.
If the lips were unlocked then the couple was immediately disqualified.
Rest breaks were not allowed.
