MMD Western province Publicity and Information Secretary David Nchengu has dared Luampa constituency MMD Member of Parliament and Western province minister Josephine Limata to resign from the former ruling party.

In an interview today, Nchengu said MMD leadership in the province shall not tolerate indiscipline and unlawful conduct within the party hierarchy and has dared Limata to resign and join the Patriotic Front and re-contest her seat to see if she is popular.

“All members of the party are subject to regulations and orders which are applicable to all who violets the provisions of the party constitution. Regulations and decisions or Acts in the manner to be detrimental to the party interests are liable for disciplinary actions regardless of their status and influence they command in the party,” said Nchengu.

Mr Nchengu added that pursuance to appendices A, disciplinary regulations of 1991(3)(a), and the authority of these laws lies on the exercise of powers of the MMD NEC which are contained under article 50(4) of the party constitution and these regulations are still in force which every member should follow with keen interest.

He said Limata’s paddling of two boats and her habit of eating with double hands has choked her and as such she should resign on moral grounds in order to pave way for genuine members who could work with the party to foster development in Luampa constituency.

Mr Nchengu has challenged Limata to be brave enough to quit MMD like the wise Members of Parliament Steven Masumba and Gabriel Namulambe who have tested their popularity and retained their seats, saying their membership in PF is unquestionable unlike herself (Limata).

He has however, requested the PF leadership to learn a lesson from the MMD as it had learnt a lesson from the UPND where Limata belonged from 2005 to 2011 of her attitude of disregarding lower organs of the party.

“I still contend that her suspension is on and already in the hands of NEC for her expulsion from the party. I urge her not to seek a court injunction over the decision of the NEC to over her case in order for her to test her popularity in Luampa constituency,” said Nchengu.

Mr Nchengu has advised all the MPs serving in PF in different portfolios to remain loyal to the party that sent them to parliament.

Recently, Limata said those who were calling for her suspension in the province were just disgruntled people who were feeling jealous as she is working well in the PF under the leadership of President Michael Sata.

  1. Ways should be found to hound out Limata,and the other MMD and UPND traitors,who are working for ailing dictator Sata’s regime.Because of traitors like Limata,Sata thinks that he can continue to enslave us.The MMD and UPND leadership should not tolerate these traitors.

  2. We need to get ministers appointed from outside parley so that this nonsense of hounding each other comes to an end. Does partisanship mean prohibition?

  3. Let Limata resign after all she lost petition to Musangu. She looks to be a political prostitute.Old woman decide than delaying the game.

  4. @Imprezza. YOUR SHIKULU IS SICK BECAUSE OF TOO MUCH VIGOLOLO. Hence the AILING Dictator. He applied for it. If you want you can also apply through unprotected sex like your chi shikulu who cannot account for his children.
