The MMD has settled its controversial three hundred and ninety million Kwacha statutory fees with the Registrar of Societies.
Both MMD President Dr. Nevers Mumba and Registrar of Societies Clement Andeleki has confirmed the development after a closed door meeting.
Dr. Mumba told journalists that he visited the Registrar of Societies this morning to reaffirm his party’s position for dialogue whenever they were contentious issues that needed to be ironed out.
The former ruling party had not been paying statutory fees for its branches, a move that compelled the Registrar of Societies to de register the former Ruling party.
Registrar of Societies, Clement Andeleki said that his office is not there to persecute any organisation.
Mr. Andeleki has refused to comment on Dr Mumba’s alleged dual party membership with the Reform Party and the MMD.
Meanwhile, THE opposition MMD is facing a more than K90 million law suit for failure to refurbish its former headquarters at the National Pension Scheme Authority (NAPSA) building in Lusaka.
The party has been given a seven-day ultimatum in which to settle the outstanding amount.
NAPSA has pegged K90,629,994.96 for repair works at Lusaka House.
This is contained in a letter signed by NAPSA Legal Secretary Mutinta Mulonda, dated December 6, 2012, obtained by the Times in Lusaka yesterday.
“Following the conversation this afternoon between your Ms Sue Clayton and the undersigned, we would like to re-confirm our instructions for issuance of litigation against the MMD for the recovery of the sum of K90,629,994.96 for repair works at Lusaka House as soon as possible,” Ms Mulonda stated in the letter addressed to the company lawyers.
And in correspondence from the NAPSA lawyers to the MMD legal representatives, Messrs SBN Legal Practitioners, and copied to the NAPSA legal secretary, the law firm stated that “our client advises us that your client has failed to carry out any refurbishment of the Lusaka House property as agreed or to make any payment to enable our client to undertake the works.
“We have been instructed to demand payment of K90 million to our client within 7 days from the date hereof failure to which we shall institute legal proceedings to recover the same plus interest at the Bank of Zambia lending rate. It is our desire to see this matter settled ex curia,” the letter reads.
The MMD occupied Lusaka House during the time it was in power but relocated to Rhodes Park afterwards.
Well someone has hope in the party. Bottom line is that who ever forms or runs a party with the least appeal will be in power next election. It wont be Nevers of HH or even Ukwa. Believe me Zambia will triumph over you tribalists. Its who ever appeals and gives the grimmest hope to a better future.
Zambians incuding bembas had all the hope for MCS considering his history at health and Local Gvt. Its the reason why he is the president but he has failed. They will be looking as a nation.

Last kicks of a dying horse.
Dear MMD, it’s no secret that you’ve caused your own death. Your imaginery theories of gaining back your popularity are over-played and simply a non-starter.
Just close shop, re-brand, re-organize, dismiss Mumba and dissolve your NEC. Maybe then, you’ll have a chance, but as it stands, you owe more money than you’re worth. Your president is as arrogant as your cadres.
You can’t seem to gain traction in any direction. It’s about time you thanked your followers for the support and let it go.
Gods’ speed.
Chimbwi No Plan (CNP) of all animals, should know only too well the dangers of slumbering in the open in day light like this.
Levy had the presidency land on his forehead while slumbering & once he had it, he never slept. If you sleep on duty, “Chimbwi No Plan iwe”, this is what will happen to you, please visit this site, it is Sata himself waking up in the jaws of Kaingo:
