Inquorate house stalls media bill

The few members who were in the House waited for 15 minutes in vain until business of the day was called off. There should be at least 21 MPs in the House to form a quorum.
This is the second incident this year in which Parliament had to adjourn because MPs did not form a quorum. On the 16 November last year then Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly, Gladys Kokorwe was forced to stop debates because MPs did not form a quorum.

Meanwhile, Minister of Communications, Science and Technology, Pelonomi Venson-Moitoi has deferred to November further proceedings on the controversial Media Practitioners' Bill.
