Squabbles erupt in MMD camp in Kasama

The MMD in Kasama Central Constituency has accused its Provincial Youth Chairperson, Danny Chisanga, of being used by forces opposed to President Rupiah Banda’s administration.

MMD Kasama Central Constituency Chairperson, Nathan Ilunga, said this in reacting to Mr Chisanga’s calls for the resignation of Provincial MMD Chairperson, Griver Sikasote, whom he blamed for the loss of the Kasama Central Parliamentary seat.

In a press statement availed to ZANIS in Kasama today, Mr Ilunga charged that the party was aware of Mr Chisanga’s dealings.

Mr Ilunga said Mr Chisanga was nearly lynched by irate party officials during their last extra-ordinary provincial conference when he was heard chanting the name of one of the presidential aspirants.

Mr Ilunga has since advised Mr Chisanga to consider resigning from the party instead of calling for the resignation of Provincial Chairperson, Mr Sikasote, as he was still popular.

He said Mr Sikasote, as Provincial Chairperson, has sacrificed a lot to organise the party in the province even in the absence of party funding.

He accused Mr Chisanga of having lamentably failed the youths in the province because of his weakness which was evidenced during the 2006 general elections when he contested the Mpika Central seat and lost.

Mr Ilunga charged that Mr Chisanga has also failed to account for the money he collected on behalf of the youths during the 2007 card-renewal exercise held at Kasama Boys’ High School.

He added that Mr Chisanga, as Provincial Youth Chairperson, should be ashamed that MMD party structures were non-existent in Mpika where he lives.

The MMD Provincial Youth Chairperson was recently quoted as demanding the immediate resignation of Mr Sikasote.
