The Movement for Multi Party Democracy (MMD)leadership in Mwinilunga district has refuted media allegations leveled against Mwinilunga West MMD area Member of parliament Elijah Muchima of manipulating constituency elections.
Mr. Muchima who is also Deputy Information and Broadcasting Services Minister was accused in one of the daily tabloids of manipulating party elections by ferrying part officials from rural places to contest the district elections in the Boma.
This was contained in a press statement issued by MMD district secretary Jackson Chilengi and co-signed by Mwinilunga west chairman Edwin Sawomba, Mwinilunga west secretary Goodson Kapaku and MMD district treasure, while others included MMD district youth chairperson Daniel Manjomba.
The press statement stated that Mr. Muchima came to the aid of the party by contributing transport to ferry party officials in the quest to facilitate constituency elections.
The statement further stated that the party in the district had no means or capacity to carry out the constituency elections on its own hence it welcomed members of the party who wanted to contribute toward the successful holding of the constituency elections.
The MMD leadership wondered why Rodwell Chinyama issued defamatory remakes against the area member of parliament when Mr. chinyama was not an MMD party member or official.
Mr. Chilengi said through the press statement that the allegation leveled against Mr. Muchima were untrue and baseless.
The MMD Party has since appealed to Mr. Muchima dismiss the allegations labeled against him with the most contempt it deserves.
Mr. Chilengi said the remarks issued in the daily papers by Mr. Chinyama were aimed at destroying the image of the MMD party as well as tarnishing the name of Mwinilunga West area member of Parliament.
The statement read that Mr. Chinyama was not the district or party spokesperson to issue comments concerning the party matters as he belongs to The People’s Congress.
ZANIS
Defensive tactics ah as they say the guilty are always afraid

Iwe Muchima, there is no smoke without fire! Of all people, why pick on you chabe? Siumvela Muchima iwe.
Common word in MMD vocabulary is REFUTE.
#5 Deja Vu, lol!!!
If this Chinyama guy is not MMD then why was he making public statements ? Those people like Chinyama are just selfish, don’t want their friends from the remote areas to participate in elections and yet they say we are in a democratic nation
MMD has never owned up to their evils. They always refuse. refuse . Awe ni ba nkafwa na NO.
