“We must also have candid conversations on the challenges that lie ahead and see how best we can navigate to ensure service delivery to the people,” Wetangula said.
Likewise, the National Assembly boss called for a private ‘mundu ku mundu’ (one-on-one) session among MPs to openly share what may be influencing misconduct.
“Later in the day we must have a moment of facing each other, ‘Mundu ku mundu,’ which loosely translates to ‘one on one,’ to speak to one another about what challenges and what successes we have.
