Situmbeko Musokotwane
Movement for Multi-party Democracy (MMD) Liuwa Member of Parliament Situmbeko Musokotwane has rubbished reports that he is in support of an MMD alliance with the ruling Patriotic Front (PF) ahead of this year’s elections.
Dr. Musokotwane says he cannot support an alliance with party that has failed to address the concerns of the Zambian people.
He says the PF government has failed to respect human rights and the rule of law, among other things.
Dr. Musokotwane adds that it would be ridiculous for him to convince the Zambian people to vote for the PF when the party contributed to the downfall of the MMD.
The former Finance has reminded MMD members of Parliament supporting the idea of an alliance with the PF to remember how the ruling party attempted to deregister the former ruling party and accused them of dishonest when their seats were petitioned after the 2011 elections.
