The MMD in Northern Province has with immediate effect suspended acting Information and Publicity Secretary, Crispin Mulenga, for Six months for alleged gross indiscipline and violation of the party Constitution.
MMD Provincial Secretary, Sebio Mukuka, announced the suspension of Mr. Mulenga in a statement to ZANIS in Kasama today.
Mr. Mukuka explained that Mr. Mulenga failed to exculpate himself over allegations
of alarming the nation by spreading false information about the party in the province.
He said the provincial executive committee that met on Tuesday endorsed Mr. Mulenga’s suspension after establishing that he had allegedly misconducted himself  by among other things being insubordinate to senior party officials and also divulging confidential information to unauthorised people.
Mr. Mukuka has since warned Mr. Mulenga to desist from using the name of party for
his personal errands as doing so would attract further disciplinary action against
him.
Recently, Mr. Mulenga had accused some top party officials in the province of conspiring to destabilise the party.
Meanwhile the MMD has with immediate effect lifted the suspension of Provincial
Information and Publicity Secretary Muma Musonda.
MMD Provincial Vice Secretary Jairus Simunyola disclosed this to ZANIS and said Mr.
Musonda had shown remorse over his past misconduct, hence the party’s decision to
lift his suspension.
And Mr. Simunyola maintained that some MMD members were taking party affairs as a
source of employment.
He, however, apologised for his recent outburst in which he accused some MMD party
members of being poverty stricken saying he regretted issuing the statement.
