Munkombwe speaks for Katele, MabengaBy Noel Sichalwe

Party leaders facing corruption charges in courts of law are free to contest the MMD presidency, Southern Province chairman Daniel Munkombwe said yesterday. In an interview, Munkombwe said the law presumed any accused person innocent until proved guilty. He was commenting on the possibilities of MMD national secretary Katele Kalumba and national chairman Michael Mabenga contesting the party’s presidency.
Kalumba is facing corruption charges in the magistrates’ court with others while the Supreme Court in 2004 found Mabenga guilty of misappropriating about K27 million from the Constituency Development Fund.
However, Munkombwe said the MMD would determine at a later stage as to who should contest for the presidency. He said what was clear is that the party would not choose mediocre leadership to take over from President Mwanawasa.
Munkombwe said although there could be people going around campaigning for the party presidency, the right time would tell as to which candidate would be best for the MMD presidency.
“The party constitution provides for any person to be elected to any position,” Munkombwe said. “In our justice system, a person is innocent until proven guilty.
Therefore, even those accused of corruption can stand for the party presidency.
If they are not found guilty by the court of law, they are not guilty. But those convicted will not be allowed to contest for the MMD presidency from jail. If they are not convicted, they can stand for elections and then the convention will either receive or reject them.”
