NO Opposition MP Defecting to MMD-Kakoma

Share

The PF/UPND Pact has refuted allegations by Vice President George Kunda that there will soon be massive defections of opposition Members of Parliament (MPs) to the ruling MMD.

UPND Spokesperson Charles Kakoma said the pact was not surprised or shaken by the vice presidents claims which started last year.

Mr. Kakoma urged the electorate to ignore the assertions and prepare themselves for the 2011 tripartite elections.

“The Vice President is just dreaming. These dreams started last year before the MPs got their gratuity and no resignations have occurred since then,” Mr. Kakoma said.

He said last year, the MMD said the opposition MPs were just waiting for their mid-term gratuity before defecting to the ruling party.

Mr. Kakoma said all the MPs from the Pact got their mid-term gratuity last year and no one has defected to the MMD.

He said no MPs from the PF/UPND Pact were planning to defect to the ruling party as alleged because there were no problems in the pact.

“There are no problems in the pact. People should just wait for the next government next year,” He said.

And Mr. Charles Kakoma has disclosed that 31 houses have been destroyed in Zambezi West Constituency in Zambezi District from heavy rains the area has been experiencing during the past few days.

Mr. Kakoma who is also Zambezi West MP said 150 people have been left homeless as a result of the floods which were now threatening to submerge Senior Chief Ndungu’s Palace.

He appealed to the Office of the Vice President’s Disaster Management and Mitigation Union to travel to the district to access the damage and assist the people that have been displaced as a result of the floods.

Mr. Kakoma said there was need to send food and other requisites to the area and also contain any possible outbreak of water borne diseases.

He sad reports from the area indicated that maize fields in Zambezi West Constituency have all been submerged in water.

Mr. Kakoma said because of the devastating floods, the area would likely going to experience hunger this year.

  1. “He said last year, the MMD said the opposition MPs were just waiting for their mid-term gratuity before defecting to the ruling party”.

    So they are partners in plunder? How do they justify receiving mid term gratuity of ZK 1.1 billion each which they have been condeming? Who among them can raise a hand and stone the other?

  2. Why is GK preoccupied with the Pact? Why can’t he concentrate on MMD affairs?

  3. On “Mr. Kakoma said all the MPs from the Pact got their mid-term gratuity last year and no one has defected to the MMD“, I want to believe that all MPs from the PACT here exclude UPND’s Chizyuka and the PF rebel MPs attending NCC.

    I hope Mr Minister of Justice and Veep George Kunda is talking about what he knows for lies will never take him and the MMD anywhere.

    Have a blessed day you all.

  4. Kunda is desperate in his political campaign messages, at this point till 2011 election he does’nt know what message to tell voters coz every potential voter is aware of his plunders since his appointment as Veep.
