Chitotela defends fellow MPs

Pambashe Member of Parliament Ronald Chitotela says suggestions by some media organizations that Members of Parliament endorsing PF Secretary General Edgar Lungu are defending their positions are not true.

Mr. Chitotela says the stance that the Members of Parliament have taken is not personal, but is representative of the wishes of the people in their constituencies.

He says the Members of Parliament want the will of President Michael Sata to prevail, stating that loyalty should be there even in death.

He adds that the people of Luapula province do not want to be part of the irresponsibility to destabilize the Patriotic Front but wants peace to continue prevailing in the party.

Mr. Chitotela says Chiefs in Luapula are angered that some members of the party are showing disrespect to President Sata.
