Matero PF Member of Parliament, Miles Sampa has been reprimanded and made to apologies in Parliament for absconding sittings for 22 days without permission.
Deputy Speaker of National Assembly, Mkondo Lungu says the Committee of Privileges found Mr. Sampa guilty and in breach of Parliamentary Privileges.
Mr. Lungu has told Parliament today that the committee described Mr. SAMPA’s conduct as a serious error of Judgement.
He said Mr. Sampa has told the committee in mitigation that he absconded from the house because he was still devastated by President Michael Sata’s demise.
Mr. Lungu however, advised Mr. Sampa to desist from such conduct as it will attract stiffer punishment in future.
Meanwhile, Mr. Sampa who is also Commerce Deputy Minister apologized unreservedly to the speaker and the nation for his conduct.
He pledged to be an exemplary parliamentarian.
Kikikiki what a lame excuse but he was busy filing and campaigning after the demise of sata .
That is one stupi.d excuse, and he wanted to stand for presidency, my foot!
Was he still devastated when he was busy fighting Lungu? was it not after his Sata had passed on .
Cut this wages by 22 days. He is no different to a thief robbing government out of tax payers money .He is being paid trolley loads of cash for doing nothing.
@Planzo kikikikiki hahahaha hehehe..nice one….He was more energetic than never before after Sata died, and now he doesnt even have energy to go to parliament? he is still mourning the presidential race lose, we all know..
Comrade sampa,where were u?
NI BA RAINBOW CHABE 2016
POS! Cosmo Mumba ended his mourning period and went to the grave to sick wisdom! This POS should have done the same! Thieves should be convicted and hanged!
Sampa is deep down fuming at being denied presidency after winning the party presidency but he coerced to accept Lungu who got amandate from PF members. as per constitution which was blantantly violated by Lungu criminals.
BS! This pwaaaz is just childish and arrogant!
22 days! He should have not been paid for the days he missed period! My blood boils
Awe naseka. Ati boiling. Ala walipena
(…he was coerced to accept…) and ( …Lungu who got no mandate frm PF members…) was blantantly imposed as president by PF criminal.
VOTE RAIBOW PARTY & SAMPA 2016
This is a very stupid excuse from this deputy minister who wanted to be president I hope they will not pay him for the days he missed?
I hope he does not get paid for those 22 days he was absent
This is a person that wanted to rule our nation. These are the MPs writing up our laws. I end here, this is unacceptable.
What a stoopid slap on the wrist! According to Zambian labour law if you abscond from work for 16 days continuously you are supposed to be automatically dismissed. Now this guy- you are not even docking his tax paid salary. A tase!
I may be wrong but Sometimes you wonder why we Base our hopes and faith for better country with such characters as MPs…… misfits like miles, mwaliteta, Kaingu, monde, masumba, kambwili.politics just sucks
And then you guys sack workers at UTH for going on strike when this kama guy is technically absent from work for a stupid and childish reason .The Panga Family ought to be ashamed of themselves . An apology is not good enough. It is just a slap on the wrist .Cut his wages by 22 days and sack him from government. Lungu needs to sober up and see things using lenses of a common man looking for a job and can’t get one because this very Sampa accepted a budget to freeze jobs in government.
He is still devastated that Sata used his black vehicle and got nothing in return after his death.
i feel sorry for you hon. sampa
He was swindled by the cadres! “Miles for president”.( PF Yabayama)The Kaponya’s know when & how to chew.Nafuti ,nafuti come 2016!!
I think he is still growing and has a long way to reach maturity
In the Army we call this being AWOL and he should be in the guard room doing Kolopa.Com for 22 days.
Yes this is completely one month and he shouldn’t be paid his salary…….sorry my man this total AWOL
