Speaking in Parliament on Monday, Nkhatabay South legislator, Ken Zikhale Ng’oma observed that some parliamentarians on the opposition side do not provide constructive ideas just to score their political agendas.

In his words, Ng’oma emphasized the need to break political cultures that have derailed socioeconomic growth.

“Both sides in parliament should consider contributing to the growth of the country, everyone in the August house is accountable when it comes to the developmental growth of our nation,” Phiri stated
