The Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) says its Mufumbwe member of parliament will be now be considered as not being in good standing with the party.
MMD deputy national secretary Chembe Nyangu has told Qfm in an interview that this will be as the party ponders the action to be taken against Mr Masumba who has been charged with using fake documents to obtain a job in the Magistrate Court.
Mr Nyangu says the party is dismayed at the development regarding Mr. Masumba’s academic qualifications.
Mr. Nyangu explained that the MMD will not tolerate any member found wanting of engaging in fraudulent or corrupt activities as doing so will bring shame to the former ruling party.
He said Mr. Masumba presented to the party the same academic documents in question.
Mr. Nyangu was however quick to mention that Mr. Masumba must prove his innocence beyond reasonable doubt stating that the party will soon give a comprehensive position on the matter once consultations are concluded.
Mr. Masumba who is also local government and housing deputy minister , pleaded not guilty before Principal Magistrate Wilfred Muuma, to the charge of obtaining pecuniary advantage through false pretences contrary to section 309a (2)c of the Penal Code as read with section 41 of the ACC Act number 42 of 1996.
QFM
Assuming he is innocent until proven guilty, all decisions by his party should only be made on the basis of his loyalty to the party and indeed the country.However if the charges are leaning towards his guilt in the matter, do not hesitate to kick out this double dealing, opportunistic fraudster! Let his ‘real party’ have him since they wanted him so bad they poached him and made him deputy minister! – birds of a feather flock together he actually fits in more with the undereducated crew!
LOL
“… the MMD will not tolerate any member found wanting of engaging in fraudulent or corrupt activities as doing so will bring shame to the former ruling party”

what does this mean “……..against Mr Masumba who has been charged with using fake documents to obtain a job in the Magistrate Court.”… this story now suggests Mr Masumba even used the fake documents to get a job in the magistrate’s court! Leave my cousin with his one charge until proven guilty ….. edit your stories…
