Is Opposition’s stance against deputy speaker totally justified?

Opposition MPs walk out of Parliament debating chamber in protest against Deputy Speaker Tulia Ackson’s modus operandi.

What you need to know:

  • It started when the deputy speaker turned down a private motion by Mr Juma Nkamia (Chemba-CCM) who wanted the Parliament to shelve ongoing debate on water ministry budget and debate the government decision to kick out students from University of Dodoma who were pursuing a special teaching programme.
