(LUSAKA TIMES, ZANIS) Staunch Kafue UNIPist advises Panji to resign

Staunch Kafue UNIPist advises Panji to resign
August 17, 2007

A staunch UNIP member in Kafue has appealed to party president Tilyenji Kaunda to resign and concentrate on his personal businesses if the party is to survive.

Former Kafue UNIP Constituency Chairman, Boniface Mhango, told ZANIS in Kafue today
that Mr. Tilyenji Kaunda has failed to run the party because he is always in
Zimbabwe doing personal business instead of concentrating on building the party.

He said there is no way UNIP will regain its former glory when he is always
traveling out.

Mr. Mhango pointed out that a lot of loyal party members were resigning from UNIP to
join other political parties because of frustrations being caused by Tilyenji’s
advisors who are misleading him.

He said Tilyenji should be blamed for the downfall of UNIP as he has no interest to
run the party but wants to use it for his personal gain.

He wondered how Tilyenji could run the party effectively when he does not know what
problems the party was going through.

Mr Mhango added that even calling for a convention in October this year is just too
far as members in the lower organs are not happy with him.

He charged that Colonel Panji Kaunda, his brother, was right when he accused him of
running UNIP from his bedroom because he does not want to get advice from wise
people but from crooks who have no heart for the party.

Mr. Mhango said that the party in Kafue has started identifying a leader who will
take over from Tilyenji as he has become unpopular and is not fit to be President of
Zambia.
