Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) Lusaka Province Chairman William Banda has warned the opposition to desist from unwarranted attacks and insults on President Rupiah Banda.
Mr. Banda said it is sad that despite the president not responding to their insults politicians from the opposition political parties have continued to insult the republican president.
He said president Banda and the party will not respond to the insults as the president is concentrating on implementing national programs that are aimed at improving the lives of the many Zambians including those in the opposition.
Mr. Banda made the remarks in Lusaka today when he addressed MMD party members in Chawama compound on the need to start reorganizing the party at the grass root level in readiness for the 2011 general elections.
He said there is need for party members at the grassroots to concentrate on building the party if the MMD is to win the general elections.
Meanwhile Mr. Banda has called on all MMD branches in Lusaka province to start organizing meetings aimed at looking at various challenges the party is facing at the grassroots in an effort to strengthening the party.
Mr. Banda also disclosed at the same gathering that he will this month unveil the official program for the province that will guide all party members on how to operate in their duties in the quest to bring coordination among party members.
He said this will also help reduce division among members within the party as every one will know exactly what is expected from them before the general elections.
And speaking at the same gathering Lusaka Province District Chairman, Paul Chihade instructed Chawama Constituency Executive Committee to rename one of the branches out of the 28 branches in Chawama compound which is named after Patriotic Front President Michael Sata.
Mr. Chihande noted that Mr. Sata is not a member of the MMD adding that there is no way a branch could be named after him.
“The branch was named after the PF leader when he was MMD National Secretary and now that he is not our member you have to rename the branch.” Mr. Chihade instructed.

Just say the word sir and we will be on them, Viva VGs!
ABanda, ivo ni vinjeru vaUNIP. Mr William Banda, those are UNIPist tactics. I hope people can see through the re-emergence of UNIP under MMD clothing and reject it totally in 2011.
Mr. Banda you are a finished politician. I remember when you where a governor in Lundazi you had a little beat of strength. In fact you and RB are a product of vigilantes of Kaunda. I also remember Chiluba deported you to Malawi and you only came during Levy time. When are you going to retire because I’m tired of keeping your retirement package.
With William Banda in charge of Lusaka the country has definitely gone back to those notorious UNIP days. What’s is worrying even more is the large number of Bandas in the system.
Oooh. #2 Kwandangala I like your tumbuka words Mwanawakwithu kwithu ku Lundazi ku nchunga za musuzi uswesi.
NI CI-COLOUR NSHI, AGAIN WILLIAM BANDA? NI NEPHEW WAKWA RB?
the government iz full of lairs n thieves
In 1991 this William Banda ordered UNIP cadres to slash maize fields belonging to MMD members. And when asked why he did that since it was against the law, he is reported to have replied “Law or no law, I have a duty to protect UNIP”. Today, he is a Lusaka Province MMD Chairman? This useless turncoat has really eaten his own vomit.
