Chibombamilimo, Shakafuswa expelled from MMD
Following their public sacking by the president, the two have now been expelled from the MMD. It seems the MMD has pressed the self-destruct button by allowing RB to literally act as judge and jury in this case.
Fired deputy ministers Jonas Shakafuswa and Lameck Chibombamilimo have been expelled from the MMD.MMD National Secretary Katele Kalumba announced in Lusaka Tuesday afternoon that the two, due to their arrogance, have continued to bring the MMD into disrepute and ridicule.Mr. Kalumba said that the MMD National Executive Committee unanimously, on that basis, resolved to expel the two MPs. This entails that there will be two parliamentary bye-elections.And Mr. Kalumba has said that the MMD will soon deal with Former Finance minister Ngandu Magande for his allegedly attempt to shield Zambian Airways from paying dues.
