Before Thursday’s plenary session, there was a brief tense moment when Senate Chief Whip Tahir Munguno expressed concern over Senator Natasha’s repeated disregard for Senate rules regarding protocol at the start of proceedings.
Referencing Order 55, Rule 1, Senator Munguno pointed out that all senators are required to remain standing when the presiding officer enters, only sitting once they are in position.
He claimed that Senator Natasha had consistently violated this rule, noting that the issue had been widely covered in the media.

“I had to send one of the Sergeants-at-Arms to inform her that she was in breach of the rule,” he stated. “Mr. President, if you are seeking refuge under Order 10 of the rule book, then you cannot approbate and reprobate at the same time. It is the institution that she is disrespecting”.
Addressing her directly, Munguno urged her to comply with the Senate’s regulations and avoid further violations.
“Senator Natasha, as my good friend and colleague, please ensure you comply and do not continue breaching the rules,” he said.
