The National Assembly is yet to receive a formal resignation letter from the Popular Democratic Movement (PDM) about MP Vipuakuje Muharukua, almost a week after he announced he was quitting.

On Tuesday last week, Muharukua tendered his resignation to his party, PDM, saying he was unable to continue promoting the party's virtues and values.

Senior spokesperson at Parliament Sakeus Kadhikwa told nbc News that the National Assembly is only in possession of a forwarded letter from PDM's parliament desk to the Secretary to the National Assembly.
