PATRIOTIC Front (PF) Kabwata member of parliament Given Lubinda has revealed that some ‘rebel’ parliamentarians participating in the National Constitutional Conference (NCC) are soliciting financial and material support on the pretext of organising the forthcoming party conference.

In a statement, Lubinda who is also PF spokesperson, urged party members to be wary of the unscrupulous people that were allegedly soliciting for funds, as they had no consent from party authority to do so.

Lubinda stated that such a scheme was successfully used during the run-up to the 2006 general elections and many managed to get away with large sums of money from well-wishers under the pretext that the funds were for party mobilisation.

And party leader Michael Sata said the PF was aware that the money being raised by unscrupulous people would go towards the formation of a new party.
