In an unusual turn of events during a recent session of the National Assembly, a sum of money reportedly fell out of a Member of National Assembly’s (MNA) pocket, leaving the Speaker momentarily stunned.
As the money scattered, the Speaker asked, “Whose money is this?” To everyone’s surprise, 12 members immediately raised their hands, each claiming ownership. The chaotic scene drew laughter, murmurs, and wide-eyed reactions from attendees.
Eyewitnesses described the moment as “both humorous and unprecedented,” highlighting how even seasoned lawmakers can find themselves in unexpected situations. The Speaker managed to restore order, but the incident quickly became the talk of the assembly, sparking memes and debates on social media.
Political analysts jokingly noted that it was “a rare instance of transparency,” though the official ownership of the money remains unclear.
The incident serves as a lighter, human moment in the otherwise serious proceedings of parliamentary politics, reminding everyone that even in the corridors of power, surprises are never far away.
