How is this a setback? The great lucrative Kavi will clear this minor debt and move on
This kind of writing is pathetic to say the least. There is no link between the candidate being sued and how its a set back. If there was mention of a clause in MMD constitution, national constitution or any law that bars person in this situation from standing then, saying his plan has suffered a setback would have been news worthy.
MMD is doomed..there is no perfecto candidate……………………………ooohhh MY Godooooo
lelolelo
Bushe 31 Billion or Million. Or may by id the claim the Rebased PF kwacha or the unrebassed MMD kwacha. Please clarify so that we know if its money or not
The amount looks ridiculous small to drag EPK to court. As usual, zealousness by some lawyer who will obviously make a killing out of this case. Take it to the small claims court where it belongs.
K3,500,000PER DAY? THATS MADNESS! I AM PRETTY SURE THATS ABOUT £500 IN BRITISH POUND STERLING PER DAY-TOTAL MADNESS.
This is the same guy who claimed he had money, and that the MMD needed a presidential candidate with money. Mr Kavindele…….show us the money!!

The all thing is politicised,31m?EPK is nt an isue 2hm,he is a man for MMD If the party is 2get 2its feet.
Release Nelson Mandela!! … oh, sorry.
This story does not make sense vis-a-vis Mr Kavindele’s candidacy. Not surprising because most Zambian stories nowadays do not make sense to normal persons.
yami nyokola che njala imwe…where the hell were you before the MMD presidential  race?
what are the terms of the contract, maybe EK is not satisfied with the works done so he wont pay. but as asual our raw journalists want to sensationalise the whole issue
Water off the duck’s back or is it storm in the cup of tea?
Struggling Comedian kwena uli chipuba lol.
Has Kavindele or his business firm been sued?
This is just sensationalist. There is absolutely nothing in it to bar EK from his political pursuit.
epo baba bamudala aba just go back to the farm fathers, leave the job for young up coming zambians.
I just sold my farm at Sabina to the Chinese, i will pay
Private life vs politics!
pamulu.
PHD
usilu chabe yaba..what setback..?
basiyeni bapongozi banga please, that ka money is nothing to him, he just offered 100m to MMD to hold a national convention what is ka 31m ni petty cash chabe
Honestly i dont get what the connection is between the heading and the gist of the story.
I have dealt with EK in the past the man hates paying , he has made a lot of small firms go bust cos he just does not care about the next mans problems
Presidential candidate failing to pay K31,846, 000.00?
Ba Kavindele akaso when you even have money, now what embarrassement you have brought on your self.
