RB asked to apologize to MMD grassroots

Former Republican President Rupiah Banda

Former Kabwata constituency MMD youth chairman Leslie Chikuse has urged Former Republican President Rupiah Banda to genuinely apologize to the grassroots of the MMD.

Mr. Chikuse charges that Mr. Banda has done injustice to the MMD citing that he has made the MMD grassroots to become orphans and do not know who to work with whether the ruling PF or their party MMD.

Mr. Chikuse says it is sad that the MMD tried to reorganize its party and Mr. Banda came back but because he failed to get the party through the justice system, he abandoned the party without giving direction to the grassroots.

He notes that there is nothing Mr. Banda can do right now to redeem the MMD but the best thing he can do is just to apologize to the MMD on moral grounds for putting them in the situation the MMD is right now.

Mr. Chikuse says as a former president of the party, Mr. Banda owes the party a lot and thus needs to apologize to them and where necessary he can provide advice to the MMD so that they reclaim their authority as a former ruling party.

He has further urged the MMD grass roots to continue reorganizing itself and be strong so that come 2016, they perform as a former ruling party.
