The Movement for Multiparty for Democracy (MMD) losing candidate for Mongu Central Constituency Joseph Mulyata has denied media reports that he uprooted a communal tap in the area after losing the elections.
Mr. Mulyata says he dismisses the report with the contempt it deserves by the Post Newspaper that he uprooted a communal tap that was installed using Constituency Development Fund (CDF).
ZANIS reports the losing MMD Parliamentary candidate said this in an interview, in Lusaka, today.
He explained that it is false that he uprooted the communal tap that was installed using CDF because the tap belongs to his lodge.
He furthermore said that it was the Patriotic Front (PF) supporters who broke in the MMD campaign centre and stole the party’s campaign materials worth K 150 million.
Efforts to get the PF Secretary General Winter Kabimba to comment on the matter failed by broadcast time.
However, Mr. Mulyata explained that after breaking into the campaign center, they proceeded to Mulyata lodge and uprooted the tap that they found outside near the lodge about 5 kilometers from Mongu town.
He said the tap was mainly installed for the people that live within the surrounding areas of his lodge so that they would not disturb the supply of water at the lodge.
Mr. Mulyata, who lost to PF’s Nathaniel Mubukwanu, stated that it was very unfair for the reporter to write on a story that he has not verified adding that it is important to verify and have facts.
He has however disclosed that one of the supporters that stole the campaign materials has been apprehended by the police.
Mr. Mulyata said that the supporters should be celebrating their victory instead of stealing their opponents’ campaign materials.

Who cares about Mulyata any way? Just wait and see what those MMD cadres do to you for all the promises you made them!
thats pf for you guys..be ready for trash!
# 1 is that a threat or a promise ha ha ha ha :)
So it is true that the tap was uprooted. Now this wanker says it was not him. What a convulated story! They (who ever they are, PF cadres I suppose) broke into some lodge or house and stole MMD ( T-shirts or chitenge materials, I suppose) campaign materials. God help us, what do you with campaign materials after elections? Do you expect a PF cadre to wear a VOTE RUPIAH BANDA T-shirt now? I am a bit lost here.
cheap politicians,u cook up confusion en blame it on the Pf.how can u uproot a tap 4 reason of loosing an election.what about the few that voted for u en what happened to providing a service to the community.
What’s wrong with the opposition MMD
This fool, I am glad him and his monkey toilet boss are gonnas. Is this the same chap who was once minister for Southern province during the time of Levy and was once pictured at the airport rowling on the floor before Mwanawasa? Banda’s regime was a horrible one, so glad that urgly SOB is out of our lives, forever!
Mulyata wants reporter to be verifying reports before publishing, however, before elections verification was not necesary i.e. Sata has collapsed and that was ZNBC 1st item. Do unto others what you want them do unto you.
Mulyata said —” Patriotic Front (PF) supporters who broke in the MMD campaign centre and stole the party’s campaign materials worth K 150 million”.
That is their value system.
So these guys still have millions worth of campaign material?Â
