President Edgar Lungu receives an affidavit of Oath from newly appointed North-Western Province minister Dawson Kafwaya who is also UPND Solwezi member of parliament during the Swearing-in-Ceremony at State House on January 26,2015 -Picture by THOMAS NSAMA

Solwezi Central Member of Parliament Dawson Kafwaya has challenged his suspension from the UPND in the Lusaka High court.

Mr. Kafwaya who is also North Western Province Minister has since sued UPND Secretary General Stephen Katuka over the suspension and further sought an interim injunction to restrain the opposition party from expelling him.

Mr. Katuka in a letter dated August 5th, 2015, suspended Mr. Kafwaya for alleged gross misconduct and actions in breach of the UPND constitution.

But in his statement of claim, Mr. Kafwaya wants the court to order that he was duty bound to accept the Presidential appointment as Provincial Minister.

He contends that the republican constitution does not oblige him to consult his party before accepting the presidential appointment as Provincial minister.

The matter comes up for inter party hearing on August 28th before Justice Anna Sitali.

@victor jacob

You are just an envious up and down cadre who does not understand your own Zambian constitution.Even your president hh need to apply to ECL to be taught some law at a night school.Kafwaya is not pompous and his appointment was done according to the law.Running a Country is not as easy as keeping cattle.

  @Josephat,
  
  Do you know the misconduct that was referred to in the expulsion letter to Mr. Kafwaya? Suppose it has nothing to do with the acceptance of his appointment by ECL, but other legitimate misconduct that warranted the action?
