THE normal process of the party constitution will be followed when dealing with the case of former Copperbelt minister Mwenya Musenge and his response to allegations of misconduct will be looked at before action is taken, Patriotic Front (PF) deputy secretary general Mumbi Phiri has said.

Commenting on the ruling party’s perceived intra-party wrangles on the Copperbelt, Ms Phiri said as a party which respected the rule of law, Mr Musenge would face a disciplinary committee hearing if the party saw it fit after studying his response.

“On former minister of Copperbelt Province Hon. Mwenya Musenge, the party position is that we have written to him as a party to exculpate himself and he has responded.

And the PF deputy SG could not give the party’s position on the differences between Luanshya Mayor Nathan Chanda and Roan PF Member of Parliament Chishimba Kambwili because she had not spoken to Dr. Kambwili.

“On our Member of Parliament for Roan Hon. Chishimba Kambwili, I can’t comment because I don’t have facts; and in fact I was trying to talk to him but I couldn’t get through his number,” said Mrs Phiri.

Last Friday, Mr Chanda, who is also Copperbelt PF youth chairperson, issued a statement challenging Mr Musenge to come out in the open and declare that he was no longer in support of President Edgar Lungu’s administration.

And on Sunday, Mr Kambwili warned the Luanshya mayor against using force on street vendors, saying it was the same vendors whom he was treating like dogs who elected him.

Meanwhile, in his latest Facebook posting, Dr Kambwili said it was a shame that ’’young boys were allowed to spread lies and falsehood’’.

  1. You can deal with Musenge however you like as PF, just stay the HELL out of UPND business. You have always been trying to destablize UPND, but it has by and large held together even under trials. Tell your ilk and party including Sunda Chanda to stay put and devise more vague statements that are exposing your arrogance and ignorance to the outside world.

    • I thought upnd supporters are not supposed to comment on PF matters.
      They reacted angrily when Sunday chanda insisted that Charles Milupi has taken over upnd leadership…by saying mind your PF business.
      Can you also mind your UPND business please and leave PF matters to PF members.
      Fair deal, not so?

  2. You still don’t believe when we say PF is intolerant to criticism. How does an opinion on a legal matter amount to misconduct. Its the police terrorizing UPND, so why should PF be offended by what musenge said thats why all along we have been saying Police is being used by the like of Bitter Mumbi Phiri. HH please explain did you dump this woman, them is she so bitter.

  3. Okay, “as a party that respects the rule of law”, pay back the salaries and allowances that the Ministers illegally obtained last year after dissolution of parliament as ordered by the Concourt
