The Open Society Foundation says the opposition MMD’s repentance as announced by party president Nevers Mumba last week is an admission of guilt that the former ruling party was corrupt.

Foundation Executive Director Sunday Chanda told QFM News that it is important for the MMD leadership to bring back what they allegedly stole from the Zambians in order for their repentance to be complete.

Mr. Chanda said Dr. Mumba understands very well that repentance must be accompanied by restitution and that any repentance without amends will be deemed as an attempt to deceive people.

He has also slammed the MMD’s intentions to come up with an Anti Corruption committee to look into any acts of corruption within the party stating that the committee will just be a club of loyalists and one dimension whistle blowers.

Mr. Chanda added that the decision to disown convicted party leaders is an attempt to defend and protect suspected party criminals who are seemingly untouchable.

He said if the MMD is serious with repentance, they should ask all party leaders facing corruption charges to step aside and allow the due process of the law to take its course.
