Movement for Multi-Party Democracy (MMD) National Executive Committee member Felix Mutati has said that it is a duty for all MMD members of parliament and ordinary members to contribute money towards the running of the affairs of the party.

Mr. Mutati said this is the only way the party can survive.

He told ZANIS in an interview in Lusaka today that it is a very difficult task for one person to be left in charge of raising resources for the party.

He said it is, therefore, important that all MMD members to contribute towards smooth operations of the party.

Mr. Mutati said it did not matter how much an individual contributes because anything makes a difference.

He also noted that it was difficult for an opposition party to raise funds from the private sector which is one of the biggest contributors to parties but stated that the MMD will continue knocking on their doors to ask for assistance in terms of funding to the party.

Mr. Mutati has further called on all well wishers that believe in the former ruling party to help fund the opposition party for it to survive.

He was commenting on alleged complaints from MMD president Nevers Mumba that he had been left alone to mobilise resources for the party.

  1. Guys you were in power for 20yrs en you are this broke just a year after loosing elections, just shows the kind of poor leadership in that party..

  2. Wise words from a wise guy. And this is a person they were accusing of wanting to defect to the PF. MMD scored a political own goal not to elect this guy as their president!

  3. Where is the money you guys looted from the roads projects? You can not tell me that RB got all of it.!!! In any case there are chitenge materials in China awaiting collection. You guys can pick these up and sell to your members.

  4. ITS UNBELIEVABLE THAT BEARLY 1 YR AFTER LOSING POWER MMD MEMBERS ARE FAILING TO FUND THEIR PARTY WITH ALL THE LUXURY WE SAW DURING LAST YEAR’S ELECTIONS. THERE WAS NO LEFT OVER. PEOPLE ARE JUST TRYING TO MAKE NEVERS MUMBA FAIL TO SMOOTHLY RUN THE PARTY. LETS BE SERIOUS THE WAY WE RUN OUR AFFAIRS. IF WE CAN’T RUN PROPAERLY A PARTY THEN HOW ABOUT WHEN IT COMES TO RUNNING THE NATION.

  5. Implementation of such issues in the media gives high advantages to opposition parties ” this shows that the MMD party is coming to an end like UNIP.

  6. Feligo, you are just being wasted there. Those prostitutes like Dora made sure you were no where near the Presidency. You are good material for any progressive party. You have always discussed serious developmental issues that is why you were not popular among those bootlickers. We need you come out of that mess! Please, Please, leave those empty tins alone.

  7. That picture was taken sometime back when Mutati was still Minister. Ba LT, give us the real picture so that we can see how he is faring. Those people appearing in the picture have nothing to do with MMD. Yeap, it is their time now to look for money but I think with the way things are currently, most MMD chaps would rather invest wisely in profit making ventures. Their LUPIYA has come out that he will not fund the pate, so who will….. how about ba Nevers, he is president but his wife is comfortably enjoying life in Canada…. in whose house? Ba bwana Nevers, why not take the lead and morgage the property for the sake of the pate. ebwaume ubu !

  8. Give MMD to the highest bidder,seems the pastor is broke,he cant survive without hand outs. Where is Liato? I bet he can teach the pastor how to sow money and of course reap a jail sentence.

  9. This is a party that was in power barely a year ago?is it true that MMD has no money to sustain itself?MMD chaps get seriuos!!! You are just showing the people that you cant be trusted and if we are to bring you back to rule us, you will just squandar whatever has remained.Be serious and be a strong opposition…….

  10. Hon. Mutati is right, but u would wonder the Party that was in power 20years is still broke now.They were supposed to invest especial the millions of kwacha they used in last years campaigns.

  11. Reminder:
    UPND: 26.76%, 25.32%, 19.70%, 18.17%; 
    MMD: 28.69%, 42.98%, 40.09%, 35.42%;
    PF:  3.35%,  29.37%,  38.13%,  41.98%. 
    Work hard and change the trend for your party. The ball is in your court, don’t blame anyone, blame your ways of doing politics, or praise your ways of doing politics. The superior strategies and tactics will prevail. Its a marathon now. The time for sprints yet to come. Plan well. Two of the above will be losers and only one of them will be ruling the country.

    • Excellent thought for analysis in the public domain. Let the game begin, only a bravado Party will make sense of this than all talk with no plan!!

  12. Its not even a year and these guys are broke. Come 2016, there wont be an MMD to talk about. Learn from PF how they managed to survive in opposition for 11yrs ba fi…kala

  13. This only confirms that MMD was and still is Party of bandits to proffer your stakes on. Barely a year and you are this broke!! You are the most useless Leaders the Country has ever seen so far!! You even have the audacity to ask for a second chance, imbeciles!!

  14. UPND: 26.76%, 25.32%, 19.70%, 18.17%; 2016: UPND; 15%
    MMD: 28.69%, 42.98%, 40.09%, 35.42%; MMD: 30%
    PF: 3.35%, 29.37%, 38.13%, 41.98%. PF: 48%

    Second Round, MMD: 4O%
    PF: 60%

  15. shame………….. trying auctioning Dora’s bums, visit Liato’s other farms, check musokotwane and mwale’s bicycle storage centres.

  16. MMD has killed itself by having Mumba for presidency Mutati should have been secondly Mutati should have jumped ship for PF this country needs his expertise….he is better man for office for Commerce than Bob Sichinga will ever be…period. Mumba become rich through offerings in Church he has forgotten how to preach for tithing lol…kukosa

    • Mutati is ok where he is….this is a time to really see true commited mmd members who will weather the storms. Ukwa does not listen to advise, pf already has educated members why aren’t they advising ukwa

  17. Why cant MMD Auction Dora`s Bums am sure they are still Soft. Well What do you expect from the Pagan Pastor He is used to Hand outs , By the time we have the next Elections MMD will be like his National christian Coaltion… Broke , Directionless and without Members

  18. All those looters have personnally lined theirs pockets during 20 years and now nobody wants to help boost MMD coffers…

    Time is running out, the end is closed :) :)

  19. Mmm Ba pastor Mumba and MMD, are you joking you broke?? Really this is bad guys, but I know that you guys stole a lot of money from fake tenders-roads, clinics , mobile hospitals….where has the mone gone?? For sure you were great thieves.

  20. A party that was in power for 20 years should have had businesses to sustain itself. They were just getting from govt coffers and stashing in their pockets. I can`t waste my peny on them. Let`s donate to new parties like ADD, NAREP. Though I am beginning to get concerned about NAREP with his silence since the trip to Brazil. I was beginning to think it was the party for the future.

  21. the end is near
    but they may ask RB and his son “Jimbo” to give them few crumbs

    April 26th 2011 zambia.co.zm article 16050

    Recently James Banda caused a sensation when he made an outright cash purchase of a Mercedes Benz S600 (worth $250,000.00), a BMW X6 ($120,000.00) for his girlfriend and innumerable lush gifts of expensive cars and houses for his many wives.

    Jimbo is in now playing in the same league with sons of African dictators notorious for luxurious lifestyles, extravagant expenditures that represented the rot and extent of corruption their fathers had been involved in.

  22. What can Nevers do? He is used to church hand outs . This guy is not even popular among the flock. If he was all the pentecostal churches would donate to the MMD cause. But they all know how dishonest he is.Ekupwa kwa party !!!

  23. MMD was a part running on money frm state coffers, they will never b able to fundraise any money in opposition

  24. NEVERS MUMBA IS ALREADY SHOWING SIGNS OF FAILURE…SUCH COMPLAINTS MUST NOT COME FROM A PRESIDENT OF A POLITICAL PARTY. SO WHAT MESSAGE IS HE SENDING TO HIS MEMBERS. NEVERS SHOULD LEARN HOW TO ORGANISE AND DELEGATE DUTIES…I HOPE THERE WILL BE MMD BY 2016

  25. Where is Dora bokosi? she can always go to her boyfriend RB and the son to give MMD money. she is good at that. Soft bokosi

  26. IF MUTATI HAD WON, SATA AND PF WOULD HAVE FUNDED MMD. NOW NEVERS CAN NOT BE BOUGHT, SO IT WILL BE ROUGH FOR YOU GUYS. JUST REMAIN STRONG U WILL DEFINITELY BE IN GOVT WITH HH COME 2016.

  27. Testify against RBs sons and recover some stashed cash for yourselves, RB maintained the Party account and none of these guys got a penny from it!!!
