Sources within the MMD say Richard Taima resigned as MMD Solwezi East Member of Parliament to join the PF due to billion he owes the Citizens Economic Empowerment Commission (CEEC) in unpaid loans.
The sources have told QFM News that Mr Taima’s wants to seek protection from the ruling Patriotic Front over the money he owes the CEEC which has embarked on an exercise to repossess property of people who have failed to liquidate their loans.
The sources further reveal that the CEEC has already started confiscating property belonging to Mr.Taima for failing to pay back the loan he got.
They have also disclosed that a lodge in Solwezi belonging to the parliamentarian has since been repossessed by the CEEC.
The sources say this predicament has left Mr Taima with no option but to join the ruling PF with the hope that President Michael Sata will prevail over the CEEC on his behalf.
They sources have also stated that Mr.Taima is also afraid of losing the petition in which his election as Solwezi East MP has been challenged.
But when contacted by QFM News, Mr. Taima said even if he owed the CEEC huge sums of money,that is not the reason why he has decided to ditch the MMD for the PF.
He was at the time of his resignation serving s Commerce, Trade and Industry deputy Minister in the PF government.
So this man is a minister in Zambia? No wonder the country is so backwards
How many Deputy Ministers in Commerce kanshi? There is also that Pathetic Fool from Kafue, called Keith, as deputy minister.
I really wondered why Taima got money to build that lodge in Solwezi, when I heard that him & Masumba resorted to selling human organs, I believed the accusation. The fact is CEEC. Ufwa tafimba pa chinena mwaiche Taima.
pwahahahaha!!! Father mwalipena
hahahahah,,, abapena amashilu these days in zambia they stand for the truth.. ask father bwalya,,hahahah..
This is a Sad Development
So he is acknowledging that he owes? It could be true then that he resigned on the same basis lol
he is not only one. its a trend among most politicians. and the switching of parties is not based on principle, but these guys are slaves of there bellies…….. and the cycle constantly repeats itself. Zambia!!!!!!!
PF SHOULD NOT TOLERATE HIM JOIN THEIR PARTY. IT IS WRONG AND MPs SHOULD LEAD BY EXAMPLE. SEIZE ALL HIS ASSETS AND LET HIM NOT BE PICKED AS PF CANDIDATE IN CASE OF A BY-ELECTION. SUCH BEHAVIORS ARE WHAT BRING ZAMBIA BACKWARD. Embarrassing MP who thought MMD will stay in power for life.
This story is fake. it is evident the writer is literally fishing for evidence against Taima. Yaba Mwachuleni ba MMD. Taima has jumped in the boat made of Gold and not a clock made of bronze. Yaba. With FB on the scene, all the frustrated voters for MMD will now join FB, hence MMD is now a complete closed shop. The movement has finally stopped moving.
