The opposition Movement for Multi Party Democracy (MMD) has disclosed that it will go on a retreat next month with a view of coming up with a civilised party.
Speaking at a media interactive session in Lusaka yesterday morning, MMD National Secretary Richard Kachingwe disclosed that the retreat, which will include party founding members, political science lecturers, chairmen of committees and trustees and submissions from all MMD organs, is aimed at rebranding and strengthening the party.
Major Kachingwe said the party will look at where it has come from, its present state and its future.
And MMD Chairman of Mines Maxwell Mwale has condemned the killing of a Chinese manager at Collum Coal Mine during demonstration last Saturday.
Mr. Mwale said in Lusaka yesterday that the shedding of blood was unfortunate.
He said it was important for government to be a fair referee between employees and employers.
Are they also going to change the name of the Party and perhaps drop all those facing corruption allegations as a way of re-branding?????
Just get rid of the bad egss in your party and come up with mature preactical policies that will reasonate with people’s needs. and pliz pliz grow up, then maybe and just maybe we might take you seriously
Please Change the MMD logo. The hour has now GONE. Perhaps put DONT KUTINA.
All the best
Fantastic idea; this time, the retreat will be funded from your pockets, not tax payers money. Enjoy bane as your reputation dies. Time is a great equaliser!! Who ever thought this day will come?
This is an important step if MMD wants to be relevant to the nation. Take an introspective look and move on from there
Good luck to you
In simple terms this is called PLANNING . If ZANU PF or sorry CNP PF can do the same the country will know where  we are going and have something  to look forward to, as it is we just wait for appointments, creations and what else. Chikulu bwacha
Chalipwa bene inshita yalipita kale. gone rural.
Please leav out soft bummed Dora coz u will be confused immediately she comes there, tek RB with u pliz and William Banda as an invited guest. Good luck tho ur equally a no hope party. look at ka Chipimo, useless under 2, busy dosing now, so quieeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!!! Be focused u tuma small parties and dont allow yoself to be bought.
We don’t need party retreats to know where the country should go. We need a national agenda to which any party that comes to power will work to satisfy.
As for the MMD, their past excesses will forever haunt them.
The hour is gone for good, put another logo, change your president and expel all corrupt elements. Truth is you took people for granted, the only people who will vote you back are the 5 year olds and their siblings for they will not know what evils you did, but we will pass down the message. So take a 20 years retreat, we won’t miss you.
And this shooting talk, Mwale is completely out of order. Who told him that the government is not a fair referee? Is it fair only when the government sides with the Chinese, and not allow the due process of the law?
wondering what that means..is there such a thing..hahahahaha..defections coming through now..mwapya!!
The only thing constant is change. In the re-branding, come up with practical ways of running:
1.) Your party in the event that you never win ANY elections, i.e. how will you fund your operations
2.) How to function as an opposition party for the betterment of the country and not yourselves. i.e. how to make meaningful contributions.
3.) How you intend to run the country should you win elections as MPs, Ministers, etc, i.e. your conduct, how to honour your words and what to do when goals set are not met.
There’s more to running a country than actually being in office, as HEMCS has learned to painfully.Â
firstly have they paid off Andeleki before they go and bury themselves?
If you have to go for party strategising simply go quietly, whats the whole point of letting everyone know that you going for strategising. That only goes to show how much you have run out of ideas. MMD is dead and going nowhere slowly!!!They are still day dreaming about bouncing back to power, this is africa TIA!
Shamenda doesn’t know that he is a referee. He is still wearing a union shirt and is in the goal.
At least MMD is practices internal democracy unlike some other parties that are now unleashing their undemocratic tendencies on the population that ushered them into govt through…….democratic practice!
Good way to go MMD.Pls don’t turn your party to what HH is doing just fighting unnececessary with no future vission or you lose support.Be seen to be consructive in criticism and not just envious of those in power.We need a vibrant leader in 2016 and so you have time to resahape yourselves.
Good for you guys but you are finished.
Ok, go and think and drink and argue. For sure you will not rule again. This is Africa not USA.
iwe nshisunda sunda cisunde sunde kanofye mu muntu,wafumishekwisa ilyo ishina?ala ndaseka
Don’t forget to invite former General Secretaries Sata and Kalumba not to forget AKA and Mbita Chitala.
# 18, we chipumbu niwe! MMD we surely won’t miss you. Take a retreat for 20 years so that the current babies obtain registration cards and voters, then you can try your luck. No one who lived under the impunity of corruption by Chiluba & Rupiah will vote for MMD if they are not self serving. Enjoy your retreat and ensure to drop $ Silly bums and Cash crop farmer Liato from your NEC.
Where is the shadow cabinet you said you would annouce this week now week over..
Just go to Hell where you belong
I actually still can’t quite believe that I could become one of those studying the important guidelines found on your web blog. My family and I are truly thankful for your generosity and for providing me opportunity to|the chance to} pursue the chosen career path. Thanks for the important information I managed to get from your website.
PF government should learn the tricks of MMD; RB knew which minister or persons to use at what particular time.
The sale of Zamtel and NAC radar system; Minister Dora Siliya
Zambian workers poor salaries and extremely bad condition of service; Minister Austin Liato [the hard cash plantation farmer].
Petroleum contracts; Son Henry Banda
Road construction contracts; Son Andrew Banda
Mpundu Trust Fund; Administrator; Wife T.Banda
Bicycles Handlers; Minister [the entire cabinet ministers]
Riot Master Minder; Edgar Tekele [William Banda]
This retreat is unconstitutional, aba banzanga balubana…..you mislead RB you guys.

Retreat of any party to take stock of its performance is welcome move. This provides a framework for future plan, action and strategies in order to be effective be it in opposition or in government. MMD will always lead in the values and ideals of democratic governance. Zambians hope other parties will follow this trend of electing a party leader democratically and plan the governing of a country collectively through party conferences, retreats or annual reviews for the benefit of good governance in the country.
