The MMD National Executing Committee has stripped five of its senior members of their positions after they lost a court battle they initiated against the leadership of party leader Dr Nevers Mumba.
The NEC which met at Chrismar Hotel in Lusaka Saturday afternoon resolved to drop party Spokesperson Dora Siliya, Vice Presidents Michael Kaingu and Brian Chituwo and NEC member Lucky Mulusa including National Youth Secretary Tobias Kafumukache.
Announcing the resolution by the party National Secretary Muhabi Lungu said the party’s two vice presidents Michael Kaingu and Brian Chituwo as well as three other NEC members Lucky Mulusa, Dora Siliya and Thobais Kafunkache have been stripped off their party positions and will remain in the party as ordinary members.
Mr Lungu said the 5 will be put under observation for a period of time and if they are found wanting during this period the National Secretary has been instructed to take immediate actions towards expulsion.
“The resolution of the national executive committee meeting after an intensive deliberation has been that the five members of the NEC who were charged will be stripped off their positions in NEC but they shall continue to enjoy full rights as members for the MMD. Under their rights and obligations there will be a period of observance by the secretariat,” Mr. Lungu said.
Mr. Lungu further said he has been instructed to write to the 5 members informing them of the party’s decision.
The meeting which was held at Chrisma Hotel was attended by over 45 NEC members including 4 of the rebel members. Mumbwa MP Chituwo was out of the country.
The 4 rebel members were made to wait outside for more than 3 hours as NEC deliberated on their fate.
The five are now ordinary members of the former ruling party.
The NEC also resolved to appoint a party Spokesperson at a later date while the positions of Vice President will remain vacant.
The five senior members had dragged Dr Mumba and then Acting National Secretary Chembe Nyangu to court for allegedly failing to obey a court order not to proceed with a NEC meeting which was elect a new National Secretary.
Judge Eddy Sikazwe however ruled on Friday that the injunction served on Dr Mumba and the NEC restraining them from holding their meeting was irregular as the applicants had not sought leave from court to deliver their injunction on a Sunday.
And MMD Mwandi member of parliament Michael Kaingu claims the decision to strip him off his position was timely as he had made a decision to resign from the position by himself.
Hon Kaingu said he would have resigned as party vice president if the party hadn’t stripped him off his position because he was tired of arguing.
He said he won’t resign from the party because he is a member of parliament for the people of Mwandi and that the people in Mwandi still needs his representation in parliament.
The 5 positions have since been declared vacant and will be filled in soon.
Those who may try to undermine the MMD may do it at their own peril. The party is still a force to reckon with and may surprise many by bouncing back to power.
The way some things happen,,,,,, now Dora where to??,,,,, i have seen people breakdown into prostitutes or drunkards,,,, in the face of harsh reality,,,, uncle kaingu how is kozo lodge and my three anuties doing??
Thats a smart move by Nevers and company to avoid other court battles had they opted to expel them
‘s about time you did the right thing! Now get busy campaigning, setting the right manifesto for the road to freedom for Mother Zambia!
Hoping you keep it this way, no cheap dirty, dirtiness daunting traitors in the party, for they will only slow you down and divert the programme! I hope there could be a screening machine for every member to detect the dirty lot! keep it up and no more being mr goodie goody Dr Mumba it pays to rule with a stiff hand in life!
AM HAPPY FOR THE DEMOCRATIC WAY MMD HAVE SOLVED THEIR INTERNAL AFFAIRS.KAINGU’S RESPONSE SHOWS MATURITY FOR HE STILL NEED TO SAVE THE PIPO WHO VOTED HIM.MAN OF GOD, NOW USE LOVE ,TO BRING BACK THESE MEMBERS.YOU WILL COME OUT MORE VICTORIOUS IF YOU ACT WITH THE POWER OF LOVE.
@EMMY, Am actually beginning to think the same way. MMD was founded on good democratic principles and representivity of all provinces at all levels of the party, but these opportunists destroyed it with their greed and separatist tendencies. Let’s hope Nevers will bring it back to its original form and restore it’s lost values.
So Dora has been stripped and completely naked now? Atleast others are abit dressed in MP positions.
I would wanted to have a by-elections, however those constituencies are not important; Mumbwa, Mwandi,
What we’ve just witnessed is the true complexion of democracy that must rub onto the entire political system in 2016.Despite persistent provocation, constant undermining of the party president by traitors, the decision is well thought through. Certainly devoid of emotion and vindictiveness. Typical of New MMD under Nevers Mumba, it’s about fairness and tolerance but disciplined membership.Lets now support this team to redeem the country from woos of PF. Zambia, this is one opportunity we can’t miss in 2016.
There is no stopping of Him, he looks like a president, talks with authority and behaves likes a president.There is no contest, this is his time, this is his moment, let’s go in masses and cast our ballot and allow Dr Nevers Sekwila Mumba finish off the job MMD began except this it will be with style.
Kaingu is lying, you would have resigned way back before you even went to court sir! You thought you could take over presidency of the party.
Cowards.Viva Chituwo and group.
Now they look foolish.
Wapya munzi ! Wafwa walemana.
A good mmd is bad fo upnd. I think its the end fo HH.
@HaHaHa, your comments are more detailed though concise they say alot.I share your opinion too.That nevers can bit anyone in the party that can stand againest him, he is the politician the MMD has.Sorry HH the your plan is not working.
MMD should focus on the 2016 elections against the Ruling Party as anything else is a distraction and should be ignored.
@ Hahahaha,
Man……. you are so interlligent hope someone can take you on as an adviser! A strategic adiviser I mean.
Best way to kill a snake is cut it’s head off clean,,, not only halfway and say you want to put it under observation. Mumba you will be sorry for this lapse!
Best move MMD has made in along time. Viva Nevers!
Great decision, now go to work New MMD with new voter registration and Party mobilization. Make the New MMD very marketable for the 2016 elections including enrollment in an Economics Degree for the Party President, all sectors of the Zambian population need to be won. Strategy is the way to go here.
@chinyama.Read your comment again and see if it makes sense.
God has been faithful to new MMD, the same God who delivered new MMD from these trials and challenges will be the same God who will deliver New MMD in 2016 from all obstacles. There are a lot of spiritual battles to be won towards 2016 and this has been preparation ground. New MMD pray as though everything depends on God and work as though everything depends on you. Wishing you God’s blessings as you prepare and face 2016.
We await their reaction which will be key to proving that they are on the evil cartel’s payrol.
PRIDE COMES BEFORE A FALL. MY ADVISE TO THESE PEOPLE IS HUMBLE YOURSELVES FROM THE HEART.
THESE MEN HAVE FALLEN PREY TO THE BEGUILING TRICKS OF AN INDISCIPLINED WOMN.
MR KAINGU,YOU CAN’T SERVE TWO MASTERS AT A TIME,THAT IS YOUR WINNIG PARTY PF & YOUR LOSING PARTY MMD AND STILL REMAIN AN MP PLUS TWO WIVES AND YOUR NAUGHTY CHILDREN LIKE IRIS AND YOUR CONCUBINE SMART DORA.ITS IMPOSSIBLE.YOU JUST HAVE LET OF SOME RESPONSIBILITIES.
Kaingu-wonders shall never end.How can he say that he was going to resign his VP positoon because he’s tired of arguing.Surely who started the arguments?Besides, on ZNBC Sunday Interview ,he said if a Convention took place and Dr Mumba won,he would leave.So really what Polygamous Kaingu is saying is just malabbish.He’s a let down and spent force.So let him not open his sewer mouth again against Dr Mumba.
The personal hatred Kaingu had for Dr Mumba blinded him from reasoning as befitting the status of a PHD holder.I know Kaingu is not spiritual,but he could have consulted the well-meaning MMD Members other than ‘Jezebel’Dora,Chituwo and naïve Mulusa.
MMD way to go! MMD for life… Dora once made me believe she was up to build MMD!
Illusionist Nevers Mumba in his mind think is a popular character after telling Frank Mutubila on Frank Talk he doesnt envy being a State a President because that would be a demotion.
BA ZP popularity does not just happen, it is built. How many elections did Sata lose? What happened in 2011? What is happening now and towards 2011. Nothing stays the same. Even you has made many changes in your life – It is normal. Mumba now thinks he can be demoted and serve the poor from state house. What happened to Jesus, he was demoted to an early being and came to die for us.
Illusionist Nevers Mumba in his mind thinks is a popular character after telling Frank Mutubila on Frank Talk he doesnt envy being a State President because that would be a demotion. Nevers is worse than Sata in terms of deceiption. Focus on Chipimo!
Sorry Mr ZP, like the real meaning of yo fake initials ‘Zabwino Palibe’ personally; I don’t think Mr Chipimo has ‘the what’ it takes for ‘Modern and Current Zambian Politics’.
MMD can’t win elections . Those supporting MUMBA should realize that the man has no support from the grassroot Mark my words . The man is just there to earn a leaving
Sabinah-It’s only God who can put and end to a person and NOT man.When God is doing something new,it does not make sense,especially to non-spiritual pipo like you.The despised David and Joseph in the Bible became King/President and Prime Minister of Israel and Egypt respectively.Just watch and see what God is doing in Zambia.
The same was said about Sata even by people like KK, your statement is nothing new to those of us who closely follow Zambian politics
Were they not right? By the way KK & FTJ simply advised and said “not presidential material”. Yes he can be president but that doesn’t make him presidential material, as we have seen for ourselves. What we have seen is extremely poor leadership. The worst ever!!!!
MR KAINGU,YOU CAN’T SERVE TWO MASTERS AT A TIME,YOUR WINNING PARTY PF
AND YOUR LOSING PARTY MMD,ON TOP OF THAT YOU HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF TWO WIVES AND YOUR NAUGHTY DAUGHTER IRIS,NOT ONLY THAT YOU ARE AN MP FROM A LOSING PARTY,AS WELL, YOU HAVE TO SERVE SMART DORA.YOU JUST HAVE TO LET OFF SOME RESPONSIBILITIES.WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Pure Comedy ! Kaingu Chitubo and horny Dora kept us entertained, LMFAO.
bo-bo-bo-bo-bwa-bwa-bwa-bwa-nio-nio-nio-nio-bu-bu-bu-bu-pwi-pwi-pwi-pwi just watching animal farm!!!
A lesson well taught to Dora and company!
Dora alikwata ichibe ichibi sana mumatanta and her labia lips are too big just kasebas
MMD is currently undergoing self cleansing. Bad eggs will be removed before 2016. Bad eggs are in carnal knowledge. Mumba is still a man of God and will remain so. The storm is now over. It’s a pity that some senior members accepted bribes from PF to cause confusion.
To all MMD National Executive Committee members, the lapse you have allowed will eat you very soon. These guys, Dora and company, are in league with a Party in Gorvenment, the brainless PF. Do you remember SHAKA, the Zulu? DON’T LEAVE AN ENEMY BEHIND!!
I thought headline was suppose to read “Dora stripped naked”
You cant take two wives to state house Mr kaingu unless we have another state house in kalomo just to avoid the nagging between two wives , Ms Dora slit you cant just stay in state house alone without a man it will be too boring for you, Mulusa what ever you join or do will a lose that’s why. Brian I real wonder what came into your mind because three fool blinded you sir. Brian you know slit very well and you know her campaign style uwaikatako, did u do it papa. OOOOh batch of fools uuuuuuucrying uuuuuuh. You were busy lying to each other. Okay, Touch not the anointed one. Now listen Zambia is a Christian nation, it a democratic nation, 75% protestant Christians, 12% Catholic Christians, Moslem 1%. Now this time we want our brother Nevers not someone who can take two wives to state…
I’ll sleep very well. Well done Judge Sikazwe
We continue to declare Psalm 91 and the blood of Jesus upon Dr Mumba, Family, New MMD and Zambia until 2016 and after.
Nevers Mumba is full of crap
How about you? Take pride in productive criticism not slogans. certain ways of thinking harm you more than the person you are commenting about
Thanks to the ZWD for exposing this treacherous scheme by these trait0rs. Had it not been for the ZWD, they would have gotten away with it. The MMD owes you guys at ZWD a big thank you for exposing the traitors. They way you got wind of the scheme long before it happened, forcing them to admit their c0rrupt behaviour is just amazing. Well done guys, you can tick that on your list of accomplished things.
And you gotta admire the likes of Muhabi Lungu for the cool level headedness. Also Dr Mumba for not panicking and going on attach even when he was provoked… well played.
Now I just hope these trait0rs can now disappear from the media and go into oblivion… I just hope not expelling them will turn out to be the right move that will not come back to haunt the MMD.
L.T journalists, you should be innovative. Title should have been: DORA, 4 OTHERS REBASED!! Indeed, the ka punishment is cool. Its like being beaten but no evidence (assault no blood bakamba!!). These guys still need MMD to be MPs & MMD still needs their contributions from parliament & loyalty. Now watch how they remit those contributions or vote in parley or kubwatabwata mu’ POST!!
Exellent move….
The hour! Has Come. Zambia Shall Really Be Saved
Save by who…..Mumbwe???
naledabwa sana ba kaingu ukulalwisha bu president?ifintu fimbi kulaipima.To the new MMD i salute you for removing especially the three dimagogues from their positions. dora,ba kaingu and ba chituwo thought it was “sangwapo”.
Whatever door God has opened no man can close. People are praying for Dr Mumba, family, new MMD and Zambia and against all other obstacles of evil that may still be under plan. All things will work out for good and stronger after the trials .
FELLOW COUNTRYMEN, LET US GIVE THANKS TO GOD FOR HIS GOODNESS IN THE WAY THIS MATTER HAS GONE. IT IS TRULY THE GRACE OF GOD AND SHOWS THAT GOD IS IN CONTROL OF THIS WHOLE THING.
THEY STARTED WITH WITHDRAWING THEIR ALLOWANCES, NEVERS FLEW EVEN HIGHER. THEY STARTED A VICIOUS SLANDEROUS CAMPAING, HE WENT EVEN HIGHER.
THEY WENT TO COURT, CASE THROWN OUT.
BELIEVERS LETS RISE UP AND PRAY AND SUPPORT NEVERS.
WHY CANT WE OPEN AN ACCOUNT AND HELP NEVERS?
The New MMD needs to add a donate button on their website with capabilities to donate by Bank cards, accounts etc infact a paypal account would be easy to set up,it will be very convenient. People are willing to donate money towards the campaigns, look at how Obama raises money towards campaigns on the website with people giving as little as $5 ,
Viva pastor Mumba, MMD will win in 2016. Am disappointed with Dora i thought she was a woman of substance.Pastor keep on praying leadership is from God ITS NOT BY MIGHT NOR POWER those working against u Dora,Chituwo and Kaingu they wiil not prevail with their selfishness plans.
Shame! Chituwo, it does not pay to use under hand methods to ascend to power. Now you look like 5 thoughtless characters. what next anyway?
