Livingstone MMD recommends suspension of councilor

Share

The MMD constituency in Livingstone has recommended  the expulsion of Zambezi  MMD Ward Councillor, Philimon Musonda, from the party.

Livingstone MMD constituency secretary, Vincent Mulobela, has confirmed the
suspension of Mr. Musonda.

Mr. Mulobela told ZANIS in Livingstone that Mr. Musonda was suspended on July 29,
this year and a letter was written recommending for his expulsion from the party.

Mr Mulobela explained that a letter was written to Mr Musonda asking him to
exculpate himself to which he replied.

He said Mr Musonda was then called for oral interviews on Monday this week and that
during the same interviews , he was found guilty of gross indiscipline.

But Mr Musonda has denied ever having received such a letter and being called for
any interviews.

”I don’t know anything about that. I have never received such a letter. You find
out from themselves (constituency),” he said.

Livingstone Town Clerk, George Kalenga, said he was aware of the issue but he
refered all querries to the party officials.

”I am aware of that case. They wrote to me but the party must clarify the issue,
not me,” he said.

And Southern province MMD Vice-Provincial chairman, Solomon Muzyamba, said he had
not seen Mr Msonda’s suspension letter by the constituency.

Mr Muzyamba, who is also in-charge of the disciplinary committee of the party said
he did not know the reasons for the suspension of Mr Musonda.

Mr Muzyamba said in the event where Councillor Musonda is found with a case to
answer, action would be taken adding that the party was not sitting idle.

  1. How can the Vice-provincial chairman, who is supposed to be in-charge of the diciplinary commitee of the party have no idea about the letter written to a man who is being accused of ‘gross indiscipline’? am i missing something here. This ‘Musonda’ guy must have slept with somebody’s wife.

  2. The same due processes of law Chiluba used to fix others like Kaunda, Princess Nakatindi, Dean and others are not being used to nail his sorry prat. So often whenever he did not have a case against someone he did not like, he will drag them to court for years to bankrupt them only to concoct a nolle prosequi in the end leaving it hanging over their heads. So he should not expect symphathy from any sane Zambia worthy of a reasonable length of memory, he should just fry in his own soup.

  3. I would like to get in touch with someone from each political party in Zambia to learn more about their politics when it comes to womens rights. If you know how I can get in touch with someone, please contact me at [email protected]
