[1]MMD National Secretary Muhabi Lungu says the fate of the five senior party officials served with exculpatory letters for bringing the name of the party into disrepute will now be decided by the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC).
The five are Spokesperson Dora Siliya, vice presidents Michael Kaingu and Brian Chituwo, national chairperson for Tourism Lucky Mulusa and National Youth Secretary Tobias Kafumukache.
Mr Lungu has told a media briefing that following their failure to exculpate themselves within the stipulated ten days, he has the powers to take disciplinary action against the five, but that he has opted to prepare a report which he will submit to the party’s NEC for its consideration and further action.
Mr. Lungu says the NEC meeting will be convened soon to deal with the matter expeditiously.
And Mr. Lungu has announced new procedures for holding media briefings at the party secretariat and general communication by the party’s officials.
He says the new procedures unanimously agreed upon by all concerned parties, stipulate that no senior member of the party above the rank of National Secretary will hold media briefing at the secretariat without prior permission from party president Nevers Mumba.
Mr.Lungu says other party members will have to seek permission from the National Secretary for them hold media briefings.
He notes that new procedures are meant to ensure there is greater coordination between senior party office holders and a means to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and speculations.
Meanwhile Mr. Lungu has disclosed that the party will carry out a countrywide membership audit to reconcile its membership register at the secretariat after which party president Dr.Nevers Mumba will embark on a countrywide tour to assist and make the process of re-launching the party relevant.

Take care, mwana …. How can you proceed down this route before matters before the courts are disposed of? Or are you just excited about the reins of power and can’t wait to exercise the same?
#7 Comment By matipa On May 13, 2014 @ 3:40 pm
even those powers he is excited about. powers in a party that is going down and no hope of ever resuscitating it. lungu sometimes shocks me to say the least. any way, continue kulawayawayafye till you grow too old like someone I wont mention the name.

The issue is a non-starter. Nyangu applied to have the case stopped because of irregularities. That is a non-issue now. Kaingu, Chituwo, Dora and Mulusa are going. I pity them

Matipa please,let it sink into your thick head that MMD won’t die.The death of MMD is wishful thinking.Kaingu and Co,can be delt with even now.What is in Court is different from discipling the ailing MMD Members.Don’t confuse matters.The Party has to continue functiong despite the so-called injuction which has got many flaws,even a non-legal person can notice that.

Kano nga ebo,don’t confuse matters.Disciplining ailing MMD Members like Kaingu and Team is different from the Court Injuction.The Party functions have to continue.Besides if any Party wants these characters they ‘re free to approach them.am told PF and UPnD needs some of them.

Clean the MMD of bad names. Dora must go first then Kaingu and the rest! Every club has some level of discipline. In an election, not everyone likes the winner but all must respect those who have been elected – that is wisdom!

Let sanity return to the MMD Secretariat.Surely how can Kafumukache hold a press- briefing at the Secretariat denouncing the Party President.?Wonders shall never end.Thank God,with this measure in place,no more wonders at the MMD Secretariat.Well done bwana SG,The Secretariat has started functioning.All the NEC Members(especially Chairpersons,should also start functioning in their respective potofolios.

Ba’ tulu bulu’,which Convention are you talking about?Where were you when the Convention took place where Dr Mumba emerged winner with 50+1,convincingly beating all the other candidates-the likes of Mutati,Musokotwane,Kavindele,simbao,Muteteka.Now who’re those leaders you’re dreaming about,going to come from who never showed up when they were mostly needed?For now it’s Dr Mumba,if you don’t like him,too bad,try next time if you will still exist.

Chineke!! An illegal party secretary, illegally asking elected NEC Members, some senior in position to him, to illegally exculpate themselves? Awe ubupuba tabasumika. The 5 are legally elected iNEC members and at constituency level as MPs whose contributions sustain the operations that the masquarade is pretending to perform.
Nshakaleke ukupapa.
