Vice President George Kunda has directed the MMD youths on the Copperbelt to be vibrant and defend their national leaders. Mr. Kunda made the pronouncement yesterday when he led the MMD Copperbelt Card renewal exercise at Lowenthal Theater Hall.

Mr. Kunda said the MMD wanted a very strong youth wing capable of defending the President, his cabinet and the party from critics. He said it was the duty of the youths to answer to those that were insulting the president and his cabinet.

“We want a very strong youth wing, we want a youth wing that can defend the party and the president. Those insulting the President must be answered by the youth wing, don’t let the President answer, its your duty as youths to defend the president,” he said.

The Vice President further directed all MMD party members to recruit members from other political parties to join the MMD.

He said Copperbelt was critical to the party and that his party wanted by all means to regain its strength in the province.

“We want a very strong youth wing, we want a youth wing that can defend the party and the president. Those insulting the President must be answered by the youth wing, don’t let the President answer, its your duty as youths to defend the president,” he said.
“Copperbelt is critical to our party, we want you to explain the good policies of this government to the people so that Copperbelt will slowly be a stronghold for MMD,” he said.

Mr. Kunda directed that, following the card renewal exercise at Lowenthal theatre, MMD members in all the districts in the province must renew their cards.

The Vice President further explained that the cards renewal exercise was delayed countrywide, due to the illness and subsequent death of the former President Dr. Levy Patrick Mwanawasa and the economic global crisis.
