The committee noted that Mr Mutale was a first offender and decided to exercise leniency. Accordingly, the committee recommended that he be admonished. Honorable members, the Speaker applied his mind to this matter and endorsed the committee’s recommendation that he should be admonished. I now proceed to admonish you. Mr R Mutale as recommended by the committee on privileges, absenses and support services, the House is extremely displeased with your conduct of making an allegation which you failed to substantiate against a fellow member of parliament on the flier if the house. Your statement had the potential to tarnish the reputation of Dr S. Musokotwane amongst his peers and the public at large.

In addition, you are expected to know that the information which you bring to the house must be factual and verifiable. I trust that you will reflect seriously on your conduct and in future desist from conduct unbefitting of a member of this August House.
