MMD NEC to decide Findlay, Moonga's fate

MMD deputy national secretary Jeff Kande yesterday said the party was satisfied that it has genuine disciplinary cases against suspended National Executive Committee (NEC) member Christine Moonga and Copperbelt provincial chairman Terence Findlay. Kande said the final decision on the two disciplinary cases would be made on May 6, when the NEC sits to review organisational matters of the party.

He said Moonga's case had been referred to an ad hoc committee, which would submit a report to NEC before the scheduled meeting.

Kande said Findlay's disciplinary matter related to his statement that MMD was not a party for President Mwanawasa's relatives while Moonga's case was based on her statement that President Mwanawasa was practicing nepotism.

"So far, we are satisfied that they are genuine cases," he said.
Kande said the party leadership was forced to take disciplinary cases against the duo in accordance with party regulations.

He refuted insinuations that the MMD was protecting President Mwanawasa by disciplining whoever spoke against nepotism in the party.

"President Mwanawasa is not interested in disciplining people but there are regulations that require us to enforce discipline," he said. "It is just like in a home, when your child is insulting you, you should discipline that child," said Kande

The MMD's NEC suspended Findlay late last year while Moonga was suspended early this month.
