Party wrangles displease Levy

Share

President Levy Mwanawasa says he is displeased with the continued wrangles among Movement for Multi-Party (MMD) party leadership in Eastern province.

The President said it is sad that the leaders in the ruling party in the province are entangled in unnecessary conflicts and exchange of bad words at the expense of developing the party.

Dr. Mwanawasa who is also MMD President, said the party is a national party entrusted with the responsibility to look at national issues and to provide good leadership.

He observed that the wrangles are not healthy for national and party development.

Dr. Mwanawasa was speaking upon arrival at Petauke High School, to launch the MMD Eastern Province Special conference.

The conference is expected to usher in a new provincial executive committee for Eastern Province after the previous committee was disbanded by the national executive committee early this month.

Dr. Mwanawasa told the conference that he considers Eastern province vital in the MMD and that he would do everything he can to stop any attempts to confuse party members.

He said resources spent on the special conference should have been directed to other sustainable party programmes if the party in the province was intact.

The President is accompanied by MMD National Chairman Micheal Mabenga and was welcomed by among others, Information Minister, Mike Mulongoti.

  1. We knew that Kalu was the man for the job. Conratulationa to the Lengend of Zambian soccer. We are behind you all the way. Good lucky to Hanif at Lusaka Dynamos and happy retirement to big Teddy.

  2. Worried about those small wrangles in eastern province? You must be joking Bwana Chuchu. Wait for the period 2009-2010 to come, bigger ones, infact dispropotionally large and unsovable wrangles will rock the entire MMD,when your tenure of office nears it’s end.No one will seek favours from you then because your time at the helm will be up,instead they call you names.So far more than 5 people within the MMD have openly declared interest in succeding you,yet you are merely two years into your second term.Many more, infact powerful ones are yet to declare interest in the MMD ppresidency in 2011. Can’t you see these unmendable big cracks in you party? Just wait, you will believe me.

  3. Simple differences in the Party in Eastern province led to the dissolution of its Executive. Fine, that is discplinary action. When other parties try to discpline those who go against their own regulations as the case in PF, Tetamashimba and Mlongoti become offended and call it intorelance. I challenge them to describe the party’s action in Eastern province. Let me also put a mention that the worse is yet to come in MMD in terms of power wrestling. Succession process for presidency not yet started. The incumbent fears to open up that discussion fearing for his job. WAIT more to be seen.

  4. iwe Levy.. u a joke ba sir…Take action whe muntu preeez.. dissapointed dissapointed thats all we hear.. for the first time plz act like a damm president dammm dammm damm..

  5. Levy, these are the seeds of your poor leadership. You have concentrated on proping up your tribesmen and relatives to get government positions that you don’t even know who you have given what position. MMD lost its track when Sata, Nsuluka, Sampa, Chipimo, Zukas, Scott, Shenton, CB Youth Leader Gilbert, and the rest of good leaders disappeared from the scene. The wrangles you see today will escalate to MMD’s extinction. Wait until you fail to pick your MMD president. What do you expect? You have strong held the Party to operate for the all entire two terms of rule without MMD Vice President. So, who is performing the VP duties? Where is the constitution?

  6. LPM just join PF. There is discpline in that party. you either follow the laid down rules or you are kicked out. Ask chimumbwa and the NCC members.Sata does not waste time on special conferences, this is the kind of leader we want in Zambia.

  7. Where have the few intelligent bloggers that occasionally patronized this blog with sense and depth in diversity during its prime migrated too? You mean now LT has become a den of none thinking, uneducated toddlers only? Anybody with idea as to Why Zambian blogs suffer this dilemma? I’m yet to see professional driven, inspiring and mind stimulating high caliber blogging blog on Zambia.Ghana, Kenya and Nigeria are some success story why not Zambia?

  8. We were hounded out.It reminds me of one of the greatest English novelists of the Victorian era – a writer who penned his way to worldwide acclaim with a powerful way of story-telling that still appeals to a generation of new readers in the new millennium, Charles John Huffam Dickens.
    From the time that he wrote his first novel Pickwick Papers in 1836 to the time that he wrote Great Expectations in 1860 – sandwiching the two blockbusters with such classics like Hard Times and Oliver Twist – Dickens left a huge mark in literature and thinking. We dont have especially in Zambia. Just empty heads (usually). Little wonder we ply in the diaspora and on other blogs!

  9. # 8 you seem like someone who needs to get a life. A blog is suppossed to be someone’s space. Say what they feel . You sound like a politician without a head.Our cultures are different, you dont expect what is happening in the countries you mentioned to apply to Z. We are unique.I think LT is not such a bad blog compared to others that i have been on. This is our space, THE ZAMBIAN SPACE. If you want serious stuff go to a lecture , a class or on TV and discuss your point of you. we are sick and tired of Ba some of us

  10. Levy, you are all to blame for this mess in your party. What would you expect by turning our country into your back yard full of nephews?
