The Grapevine yesterday came face to face with the mistreatment Members of Parliament subject their personal assistants to.

A lawmaker yesterday turned up for a committee meeting but before he could settle for business dispatched his Personal Assistant to go check where the washrooms are.​

“Enda uangalia penye choo iko alafu ukuje uniite” (go check where the loos are then come call me).

The poor soul did as was instructed and within a minute or so came back and directed the MP to the facility. The committee sitting was held outside Parliament Building.
