PATRIOTIC Front (PF) Chipili Member of Parliament Davis Mwila has been sued by his employee over unpaid salary arrears amounting to K164 million.
According to a statement of claim before the Kitwe High Court, Timmy Simuyile, who is the complainant in the matter, has sued Mr Mwila of house number 80, Mukuba Natwange in Kitwe, as a defendant.
Mr Simuyile claimed that Mr Mwila had accumulated salary arrears amounting to K164, 000,000 at the rate of K2, 000,000 per month for the seven years he had been in employment.
He said he had been a driver and election campaigner for Mr Mwila, who is a business executive and a parliamentarian.
Mr Simuyile claimed that Mr Mwila promised to buy a house for him at a cost of K60, 000,000 upon his election as MP but had not done so despite winning the polls.
He explained that he travelled to Tanzania on four occasions to collect motor vehicles on behalf of Mr Mwila at a rate of K2, 000,000 per trip, which amounted to K8, 000,000, but that he had not been paid the money to date.
He further claimed that Mr Mwila had sold all the four motor vehicles imported which he used to drive and now intended to sell the last Mitsubishi Fuso truck which he was currently driving without paying the money due to him.
Mr Simuyile is now seeking an order to compel Mr Mwila to pay K164, 000,000 salary arrears, K60, 000,000 value of the pledged house and K8, 000,000 charges for transporting the four vehicles.
He is also seeking an order of preservation and attachment of a motor vehicle known as Mitsubishi Fuso truck, registration number ACL 9266, pursuant to order 26 rule 1 and 2 of the High Court rules, interests, costs and any other relief the court might deem fit.
In his defence, Mr Mwila denied owing Mr Simuyile salary arrears amounting to K164 million.
He also denied owing any other amounts, adding that Mr Simuyile had never been his election campaign manager.

Donche Kubeba!
PF at its best!! I wonder how many civil servants will sue the government IF these guys came to power.
What’s wrong with PF thugs? The other day it was Sata been reported of not paying his worker. What type of leaders are these? Are these the type of people we want to put in office this year. I cant waste my vote to these useless chaps
Hahahahahahaha….. ba mmd zoona,they are now trailing all the PF mp’s,such that they have forgotten about their own problems which should be adressed…dirty bastards.Your time is up.
PF thugs to hell..! not even a drop of my vote neither from any of my family,friends,concubines,ward etc. NIL NOTHING,ZERO.
Atleast the chinese and other ‘infestors’ pay their workers.
When getting employed, entering into an agreement, a sale and any other contracts entered into make sure that you SIGN valid documents which can be proved in the courts of law that you really got into contract with the person or institution.
It is not enough to claim for money which you were just promised. This will be very difficult to prove. A good example are the promises Mp’s feed us when it comes to election time. This time around any one who promises me to vote for him must be read to sign on a sheet of paper.
#7 you’re perfectly right, that’s very good advice to all job seekers.
# 3 Kwa Mutonyo,
This is a serious scheme by MMD to dent PF. The MMD failed to move HH from the PACT. Now they are after the stronger partner the PF. look ata selective justice, they have targeted PF dominated councils to unearth wrong doings leaving out MMD dominated councils. Even Brian Chituwo, George Kunda Dora and Shikapwasha have benefited from Plots from coucils where they are MP’s but they chose to be quite. I’m not condoning theft or underhand methods, I condemn PF councillors and also equaly condemn MMD dominated council councillors who have helped themselves to these plots. MMD busy dining with FTJ a thief, because it suites them they are hapi. They dog like hounded Judge Mumba from ECZ,1st time MMD supported a strike because they created it.Miners should also go on…
boring, boring, boring! All of a sudden, ex-employees of PF members have grievances right, left and center? These are civil matters and provided signed contracts exist, should be handled by the Labour courts. This nonsense of “he promised me a house” is a all a bunch of bull-shit.
Adultery, Land grabbing, Assaulting the press,Plot allocation and not paying workers your government in action.
This is a joke ,how was the man surviving over seven years.He is aliar and desparate
This cheap politiking again by hired MMD sympathiers. Govt owes many people billions in unpaid pensions, retrenchment benefits etc etc. Should all retirees sue RB, red lips Kunda? Again how can someone work for 7 years without a salary and still support himself. He must be a criminal who should be investigated as well.
BA Kaponya,you are just useless. You will never win elections,not with all these scandals.Do not blame the MMD for your scandals. They are are yours.
Mwe bantu please how can someone survive seven years in employment without being paid? This is a blue lie and cheap politicking.No one can stay in any employment 7solid year without a pay.’ Don’t Kubeba’.
Shameless hungry liar.
Ba LT if you choose to be MMD propagandists do it in a better way not such cheap nosense. How can someone work for seven years without receiving his/her pay and continue in that Job?
How come no MMD MPs have such scandals so far?
maawe!!ba PF ..sena muli bantu bali buti na..?mwatukatazya ma!amubbadele nkongole zyanu kuti na muyanda kusalwa..biyo biyo peepe basa..muli babbi!
