Dr. Katele Kalumba has questioned the MMD’s National Executive Committe’s decision to expel the party’s chairperson for health Lumba Kalumba, who is also his wife.
Dr. Kalumba said that the decision taken by the party’s NEC is highly questionable stating that the concerns she raised for which she has been expelled were genuine.
In an interview, Dr. Kalumba who is the former ruling party’s National Secretary said that his wife has been vindicated by the party.
He said that Mrs. Kalumba had fought her battle stating that she has been expelled for speaking the correct thing.
Meanwhile, The opposition Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) is considering amending its constitution in order to re-introduce the position of party vice president.
If amended, the party will resolve to have two positions of vice president, one for political affairs and the other for the administration of the party.
MMD National Secretary Major Richard Kachingwe says the party’s legal committee will before the party convention in the first quarter of 2012, make recommendations to the National Executive Committee (NEC), on what should be added or subtracted in the constitution.
Mr. Kachingwe says the party is considering having two positions of vice president because of the massive works it has in preparing for the next general elections in 2016.
Speaking to QFM in an interview this morning, Major Kachingwe says once the legal committee is done with the scrutiny of the constitution, the NEC will adopt it and present it at the convention.
He expressed hope that the positions of vice president will also be tackled at the forthcoming convention where the party will be choosing a new leader but could however not give any assurance.
QFM
This guys speaks alot of sense but how did he get involved with plunder of national resources? Is it the case of a thief using sweet talk?
Katele and wife overate themselves too much. Katele is a JERABO in the making while the wife is being loyal to a loving thieving husband
too bad katele u hav owez been an inspirational but its unfortunate ftj messed u up
Yes
The Kalumbas should just join their natural party, PF. They will feel at home with these Bemba fieves.
Now that they are in opposition they want to bring back the position of vice president? I remember one Ala Bee saying I`ll chase them! The mug was too powerful anybody who said anything was fired!
Have to agree with the Laptop man here!
katebe katoto from zambia
Ummm – katele, why don’t you consult the same witchdoctor who successfully hid you in a hole during when the task force was hunting you down a few years ago. he may come up with the truth about why your wife was expelled!!!!!
yaba..why should you keep crying for your wife’s reinstatement sir…?there’s plenty to do in life..
The politics of purging every potential threat to one’s planned ascendance to POWER!
katele was used by both chiluba and sangomas. the best for him now, is to come out in the open and tell the nation about his involvement in the then national plunder instigated by ftj. he should also go a step further and confirm, or educate us zambians how he managed to conceal himself in that hole with his juju laptop. only then will zambians appreciate his wise contributions. infact katele, let me tell you this, of all the true blue around, you are the best.
Shut up Katele!
Why was she fired? What exactly did she do?
If our memory serves us well, the recent past actually revealed that Katele Kalumba and Mr. Sata made headlines for carrying large suitcases full of money which was ferried to the MMD Convention under the reign ofthe late FTJ Chiluba. It is not surprising that Dr. Kalumba Katele wants to sing pleasantries to President Sata so that his case(s) can be burried in the sands of Lakes Bangweulu and Mweru shores. We can on only speculate that he could haveplayed a big role to see the downfall of MMD in his former constituency and Luapula at large. History will reveal a lot of interesting chapters. GOD HEAR OUR PRAYERS!
Only Kabinga Pande is well placed to undertake a tangible restoration programme for the ruins that are being executed by the PF Govt.
What goes up must come down! The sun has set for Katele and his wife, they must understand that their time on the political stage came to an end. Its time to gracefully leave for others to play their part. A time comes when even the “science from the dark” will not work.

Yes that was what was ommited. I hope she got a letter of dismisal. Why LT not going after Lumba instead of this witch. You should have asked him about the laptop??? Tell the nation how you made them out of what materials?? And interview Chilala how he managed to disappear and sometimes travelling from Lusaka to Ndola in 10minutes. That model of transport should be avail to the public and easy transport blues :)
Katele was at heart a very caring, intelligent and decent person. I dont know how he got entangled with the wrong crowd? I bet this should be a lesson to all those in politics,have the guts to say no or resign if you dont agree with the leader rather than ell your soul.
If mmd had elected a vice president ealier,RB was not going to be president, everything could have been in place democraticaly,but because politicians are bootlickers wanting to please their masters even when its wrong.for once pf should learn a lesson from mmd & see how corruption does not pay.
Mwana Ka Kalunda #19 you say ” Katele was at heart a very caring, intelligent and decent person” Are you sure? Just think for a minute how many clinics would have been built from the money that Kalumba & company stole? Character is about out in terms of actions and not your words. Kalumba is a thief period! Smart people dont steal, they invent products, become rich and help societies.
@21 yambezi,you are right decent & intellectuals dont steal,smart people invent things not that laptop he used for stealing atase.
Your wife was indisciplined boss, you might be able to tolerate her ruubish but others dont. The NEC didnt want to have to contain her nonsense, why dont you appeal?
Mmd just work hard the pf has very little chance of surviving the next elections . Pf is sata and without sata in the next elections becoz the lord will call him soon b4 2016 this is a fact mark my words
Man of the People: are you the one who has President Sata’s life? You are not God the creator. Remember that all the living things on this earth it is only God who knows when you will die. Sata will be alive for a very long time because God is adding more years to his age. You yourself will die before 2012. you shameless person.
Laptop man looks like a witchdoctor meditating about something or about to “operate’ on a patient with a growth. Just check his concentration.
MAN OF THE PEOPLE, MAY YOU START COUNTING YOUR DAYS AS YOUR TIME DRAWS NEAR. REST IN PIECES.
Katele is not sensible, since when? This woman is his second wife. His first was left stranded in the UK with kids and the church managed to help them out. She was sensible enough to divorce this man
